Johnny Kelley - Animator

I have been doing a lot of research in preparation for my stop motion project (which will be filmed tomorrow) and was especially inspired by Johnny Kelley.
The first animation I ever saw by him was The Seed, a combination of simple line animation and 3d paper art stop motion. These days, it's really nice to see such a beautiful animation that doesn't heavily rely on computer graphics. And it tells the story of a humble apple seed in such an incredible way. Watch it here. You can also check out the making of on their site too, which is also a fascinating behind the scenes look.Then I came upon his graduation film from the Royal College of Art called Procrastination. It is awesome, and incredibly pertinent for every single person on the earth. Click the image below to watch it too.
