Ever take a pack of post-it notes and draw a crude animation on frame or post-it at a time?   I have.  After drawing for an hour and a half, I fan through the entire deck of post-its to make my stick figure walk across the pad.   Then, not only have I realized that I’ll never make it as an animator, but that I’ve also just wasted a perfectly good pack of post-its and a full hour of my life.

BLU – a street artist from Balogna, Italy, must’ve burned through some pads of paper as a kid. This guy has mastered the art of frame-by-frame animation without a doubt. In his short film Muto, he creates an unbelievable and somewhat disturbing adventure in animated street art. This film recently won the Best International Experimental Short award at the 2009 Leeds International Film Festival. It not only has the “wow” factor, but a ton of “how did he do that?” factor.

Post-its? Please. I can only imagine how many gallons of paint this must’ve required.

Check it out and pass it on.

Here are some samples of his other wall art pieces:
