I found this wonderfully twisted website called Eat Pes whilst researching into animation and styles of animation, the company is founded by a woman called Sarah Phelps and from what i can see is based in America. Pes has done lots of shorts and commercials for a number of high profile companies such as; Orange, PSP, Bacardi, Nike and most recently More than.
All these adverts use stop motion animation and are very well executed but the videos that caught my eye the most were 'Kaboom' and 'Western Spaghetti' which uses unusual household objects to create long distance shots such as gift wrap bows as explosions and popcorn as cannonballs etc. This unusual technique works really well and makes them a little bit surreal and very enjoyable to watch, I think the creators must have been highly influenced by Jan Schvankmayer as the stop motion technique is very similar to the technique he mastered.

Hi Dave
Interesting addition. Can you explain further what it is about this work which attracts you. What is its strengths for instance. It is important for you to develop an understanding of many agencies/ companies/ techniques etc but can you talk further about them beyond that you "like" them. This would add more value to your comments and analysis.
Hi
Sorry my mistake the last comment is in response to the next post not this one! You talk much further about the company itself here which is closer to what we are looking for.
