PES is a film director and stop motion animator who was actually nominated for an Oscar last year for his stop motion movie, Fresh Guacamole (here is the link) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNJdJIwCF_Y It also set the record of shortest film ever nominated for an Oscar.
Roof Sex (2001) was his first animated film. The film is a minute long but actually took 20 days to film on a New York City Rooftop. It is a prime example of the love and labor that goes into making a stop motion animation film.
Not only do I love the concept of the film but I really like the theme of taking every day objects and giving personality and meaning to them. PES uses this theme in many of his short films. He successfully uses the medium of stop motion to aid in his tongue and cheek perspective on society.
