Your stop motion video is very good, though I must admit a light dissapointment in it not being anymore than just "Oh hey cool". A little story about a lost rubicks cube could've been really cute.
edit: that is, the cube thing is neat, but I don't think it can carry the entire video without something else. Maybe a narrative like Mustang suggested.
also the hand around the bluejay barely looks like a hand. I thought it was sticks or just abstract shapes at first.
But I'm with Ken in that I expected a conclusion.
The narrative seemed to be that the people going about their business in the background and the scrambled, turning cube in the foreground were related. The ending I expected was for the cube to be solved with an iconic image of human achievement in the background. You kind of hit on this with the city skyline, but given this was also your first image and the cube remain scrambled, I didn't feel it was conclusive.
Then again, maybe you're trying to get across the point that we go through our lives day by day, turning and turning and turning without anything ever getting better.
And that bums me out, dude. Which reminds me, I should stop reading these forums and get back to my day job. Ugh.
Yeah, for the video, I was really trying to not make it cheesy or corny. I feel like it's incredibly difficult for stop motion not to be cheesy or to look like something obviously amateur, that's why I didn't really add in a story or anything.
