Stop motion animation is one of those things that takes a huge commitment from the artist.
Especially if they are doing the piece as an individual. But what I have noticed about stop motion artists that I have seen, seem to like messing with the viewers perception of the universe, which is probably why they choose to stop motion animation... seeing as one can do just about anything they can image with enough time and effort. Not to mention that aside from needing a camera of some sort, literally almost anything can be the artists media.
As far as a stop motion artist that appeals to me is quite easy, I have to go with William Kentridge. First of all he uses a lot of charcoal which is hands down my favorite traditional media but he also plays with text in his pieces... He is essentially doing motion graphics work with out a computer which I find very intriguing because I do motion graphics with one. As a matter of fact its what I would like to do after I graduate so it is pretty cool to see the techniques that I use quite regularly being used in a fine art sense.
