My fellow artist friend Angelika Höger recommended this video to me, and it really made my day! It's amazing what you can do with Stop Motion animation… And it's great to see how people play with limitations and explore new ways of using a medium.

Le Grand Sommeil was produced in 2003 by La Parti Productions, Studio Pic Pic André, WRD and Canal+ Belgique. It's distributed by Studio Pic Pic André and Aardman Animations. Directors Stéphane Aubier and Vincent Patar of Brussels based Studio Pic Pic André also did the animation. If you want to dig further, have a look at A Town Called Panic…

Now, that was refreshing!
