Some of the best paper stop motion animations are made for commercials. This lovely little flick is actually an ad for a line of socks. From Amber Dianda’s text on Vimeo:
Each piece of paper was painstakingly cutout by hand and it took about 3000 images to create the complete stop motion animation.
Dianda also produces work in other media, including a line of soft sculpture creatures. You might want to check those out on her website this weekend.
