ID2: A stopmotion using Yarn
The project that cell phone application company, Gravity Mobile, presented to Tony Benna and Adam Avilla allowed all the creative freedom that the team desired, thus causing a massive creative explosion. That explosion spawned a notion to animate one of the most unruly mediums known to man: Yarn, which has a similar controllability to boiled spaghetti.
With a box of yarn, some black foam core, and a glue gun the two got to work. They rigorously trained the yarn to be more obedient to their wishes and whims. After two cold months in a dark warehouse bedroom, which they transformed into a shooting stage, they still had not mastered the ungovernable medium, but they had learned to embrace its dubious nature.
