Jojo In The Stars
I was still in Poland, third year of study, when I discovered, among tons of other short animations, the work of Marc Craste. His “Pica Towers” short series left me craving for more of that bleak, spooky, twisted, but nevertheless beautiful and fascinating universe (check the site to see them). Then I read about a longer short, still in production at that time, called “Jojo In The Stars”. I’ve watched the trailer over and over again, haunted by the eerie music, searching frantically for the full version. And since then, I’ve still done it from time to time.
Today I was very glad to find it, mainly because I remembered I should try searching for it again, reading CRBlog’s entry about Marc Craste’s work for Guinness (which is great, btw). So here it is, enjoy it properly by turning off the light and bumping up the volume:

By the way, AnimWatch is a great resource for finding and reading about new or old short animations.

It’s called “More” (you can download it from the site, if you use quicktime pro :P), directed by Marc Osborne. It was nominated for Oscar in 1999. It is wonderful how well the stop-motion animation combines with the touching music, managing to portray creation’s torments. […]
