In an earlier post I wrote about the award winning animated stop-motion short film Western Spaghetti by PES. Here’s another offering from PES, entitled Fireworks – enjoy! 
Fireworks was written, directed, and animated by PES; and produced by PES & Sarah Phelps.1
PES now has a page dedicated to him on Wikipedia! Here’s what Wikipedia has to say about PES (aka Adam Pesapane):
‘Receiving a B.A. in English Literature at the University of Virginia, PES migrated to film as a storytelling medium. His use of everyday objects and stop-motion animation to create original material is instantly recognizable. [...] An early influence on PES’s animation style is the work of Czech surrealist Jan Švankmajer.’2
I plan on highlighting more of PES’ short films here on CartoonAndAnimation.com in the future – they really are fantastic and worth sharing & discussing. So please conisder subscribing to the Cartoon And Animation RSS feed to get notified of the latest posts and updates
