Artist Research - Adam Pesapane

Adam Pesapane is a stop motion animator who specialises in short films and commercials, he also holds the record for the shortest film ever nominated for a Oscar. Some of his films include Roof sex, KaBoom!, Game Over and Western Spaghetti.


He studied in the University of Virginia and received a B.A. in English Literature. PES migrated into film and was influenced by Jan Svankmajer. He would use everyday objects to create instantly recognisable animation.


I like his work because of the way he brings ordinary objects to life which is hugely evident in the film Western Spaghetti, he has inspired my work because I am using object animation and also creating objects from other smaller objects which is what I have done with my plane.
