Animations and Flash websites

I've just found this flash based ...digital toy by a Japanese freelance designer. Not quite sure of it's purpose but it's very pretty...

This is a very attractive and cleverly built website which one day I aspire to have the abilities to be able to build something as amazing as this Ted Rosedale (although I'd use better music...)

One of my favourite videos on youtube has recently been deleted by the creator - gutted, it was awesome [Chik 'n' Jack]

This is another video I've recently found on utube using stopframe animation techniques to create this quirky, slightly disturbing video in which the character - Sara gets up and literally puts on her face but she get's angry with her lips which make her smudge her eyebrows and cuts them in half in anger and hasto tape them back together. Snip has a certain Tim Burton-esq quality to it

Contraption number 019 has to be one of the strangest videos I have seen in a long time; just watching it gives me the shivers. It opens in a clinical room with a large contraption which is controlled by a maggot creature. The contraption has many mechanical arms that pick up parts of human bodies that are stored in the draws on the wall and places them into the machine at the side of the room which closes and spins. upon opening flies fly out and up through a hole in the ceiling out of which bright light flickers. The maggot eventually places itself inside the machine and emerges as a disturbing human/maggot mixed up creature which flies up through the hole and into the awaiting fly zapper and dies...
