Video of the [Wednes]Day: FRESH GUACAMOLE

You may have seen PES videos on YouTube before -- stop motion short films usually involving food and clever uses of everyday objects to create plays on words. "Human Skateboard," "Western Spaghetti," and his inventive Coinstar commercials are just a few examples of PES' whimsical and inspired work. The shorts are made by one man, Adam Pesapane, a commercial and film director whose work has also been featured at film festivals internationally. "Fresh Guacamole" was included in Showtime's Short Stories web feature -- a minimal, classy attempt to connect with the YouTube generation -- and it was just shortlisted for the Animated Short Film Oscar. 

Watching the style evolution over the years, you can see that the shots get crisper, brighter, and more fluid (almost to the point that the "stop" of stop motion isn't even noticed). "Fresh Guacamole" displays refined technical skill along with PES' usual sense of humor (diced onions, anyone?). My favorite part of this video, however, is the rich soundscape that brings the images to life. Watch it once, then play it in the background while just listening to the slices and crunches and whacks (especially enjoyable if you're ASMR). Just like being in mom's kitchen, no?

Check out the rest of PES' work at his YouTube channel.
