The artist PES has created a series of stop motion animations which use physical objects photographed then placed in succession of one another to create the movement of inanimate objects. Recently PES as created an advertisement for the Washington State Lottery in which two sets of red and yellow lottery balls travel to meet each other and mix up. PES's animations mostly feature comedy concepts and are delivered to a very high standard which i think is needed to make something of this nature look professional and presentable.
Probably the most famous of his work is the stop motion animation, 'Western Spaghetti' in which a range of old fashioned toys are treated as ingredients to make a meal. The ways in which PES has implemented little details such as chopping a section of a rubix cube into smaller pieces really makes this animation stand out. The animation has had numerous awards such as the 2009 Sundance Film Festival Winner, 2009 Audience Award, and TIME Magazine voted No.2 Viral Video of the Year, proving that although an old fashioned form of animation can still be successful in modern times if done correctly.
