Sadly StopMoShorts.com had to close it's doors. The site was very popular and run by the most active people in the online stop motion animation community. What will happen next? Is the site coming back? Unfortunately Eric Scott only wants some tutorials uploaded to the web, but there will be no user participation any more. It became too costly and time consuming for the members, and with new automated community video sites - is obsolete technologically. What are your views on this big loss?

  • StopMoShorts maybe dead but not forgot.


    Hi Marc
    Yes I was sad to see the site go to. I had clicked on the link in my favorites a while ago but had put things down to server problems!
    I had some of my work up on StopMoShorts and had also joined in with the Visual Haiku about three times. But more recently I have been steering my loyalties to helping some of the guys out at Aardmans own Wallace & Gromit website with answers to drawing, modelling, set construction and stop frame animation techniques.
    Also I can understand the hard work that goes into making your own website as that has been what I have been doing in my spare time, building my own website.

    PS Your original website was one that I always found myself clicking on when I first started doing animation seriously

    Good luck with the Zombie Pirates project

    That's sad. :/ I hope he at least keeps it backed up in case he wants to put it back. I really liked a lot of the videos on there and wish I had a chance to download some of the exercises.
