OnelargeprawnFeaturing an 8-bit water slide mixed with some real world imagery, this cute stop-motion animation was created by tea&cheese for a film competition.
All the characters, props and sets where created and animated in Flash, then cut out and re-animated, frame by frame, in real life.
Be warned – there is mild 8-bit nudity in this video.

Jumpman is a nostaligc, lo-fi retro platformer featuring a layered level design and game mechanics with a twist. Creator Runhello has this to say:
The thought was to kind of take all the things that have become possible in games in the last 29 years– physics, 45 degree angles, a z axis– and bring the new technology into an early-80s-style platformer while at the same time changing the platformer’s basic nature as little as possible. The hope is to try to make you believe that every 2600-era platformer would have looked like this if only you’d pulled the camera back about 4 feet.
Jumpman is a free download for both Mac and Windows. Get it from Runhello.com – via Boing Boing.
Split ’em up is a fun, unique retro shooter that pits you against an aggressive alien horde. Wipe out all of the invaders with minimum damage to your shields!
