Madame Tutli Putli
Couple weeks ago I went to Sony ImageWorks to see the screening of "World Animation Tour." Among all the amazing short films, Madam Tutli Putli really blew my mind away. Take a look at the following links.

The technique they developed and achieved definitely changes the look of the stop-motion and further expands the boarder of stop-motion animation as an art form in history. The puppets are given new lives, in terms of realistic acting and surrealistic facial complexions. For acting there's a term called "half gesture," mentioned by the two directors in the interview (Could be found on youtube). For eerily surrealistic puppet effects, I will leave this for you to find out...it's quite interesting.
The DVD is now ready for purchase. Too bad that currently NFB only opens the portal to Canadian Citizens. For those who are in Canada, I would encourage you to get one for your film collections.
There's some articles by FPS and such if you are interested:

是DVD阿
真可惜沒辦法看
應該是我會喜歡的
話說回來Thomas現在是在哪國阿
加拿大? 美國?
他把最不傳神的眼睛部分用真眼取代算是一絕，美術風格也很棒。Thomas 就等你了。
I have a chance to interview the directors and vfx artist these two days. I am not allowed to put anything online except an article that will be done in near future.
It's amazing how difficult it is to achieve the seamless effect...it has to match the rotation, re-matching, re-timing, color adjusting, matching the film grains, motion blurs. The VFX artist Jason Walker has to develop a new technique for this...and a graph called "Wunderbar."
If interested, here's some interviews I found(updated into the post).
BTW, currently I am in LA not far from Sami. When are we going for the Vitoria's secret parti Sami?
我比較欣賞他的美術創意,還有為了整體藝術風格所獨創出的表現手法，至於那些需要克服的技術問題我想是一般vfx artist 的基礎工matching moving, re-timing, color correction。很花時間就是了
