back of a digital napkin

SketchCast is based on an old principle: the improvised drawing on the back of a napkin in a bar, to sketch ideas and thoughts on paper to get a concept across another person. The website presents a new way to communicate "something" online by recording a sketch, with the option to overlay the animation with a voice or speech. Any sketch can be embedded on a blog or home page for later playback.

Can this be used as a storytelling method for designers? Or indeed, can it be used by users to communicate their ideas with designers?

twitter story

This communicates Twitter beautifully.

The simple hand-drawn graphics really reflect the simplicity and practicality of Twitter.

How can this method of story telling be used to communicate more complex information?

stop motion

This is a stunning stop motion film by Carlos Lascano. Wonderful expression of love and hope through various styles of animation. 

A SHORT LOVE STORY IN STOP MOTION from Carlos Lascano on Vimeo.

I particularly like the switch from 3D characters to 2D characters at 1:06 and then back to 3D at 3:00.

One of the reasons I love Vimeo!
