sorry, fixed.
edit here, the original link went to "The Machine"
http://vimeo.com/6651955
Which is also interesting, though not Moho-ish.

hehehe, I was trying to figure out where he used Moho. My conclusion was that the animation were made in moho and then "traced" on the stop motion (actually we are working on project in which we are making exactly that)

Very interesting style. You use the same source material as I did, but in a completely different way. There were many nice details, like the explosions done with a print screen effect, or your way of creating heads by overlaying a texture on a 3d object (the clay heads). And I like your use of colour.
I'm not so convinced about the story and the pacing. It's all a bit slow. And the overall blurriness is not my taste, as well as the overuse of shadows. Sometimes it's hard for me to see what's happening, and that kills any scene. The title cards would be more readable with a different font and no all-caps, and it's odd to have dialogue and cards - usually you only have one of them.
Interesting that you have the same trouble with moirè (in the sky) when the number of lines of the artwork equals or is greater than the number of lines of the output format. Was that the reason to use the overall blur? - I plan my stuff to be exposed on film so moiré shouldn't occur ...

Rob Shaw is at Bent: http://www.bentimagelab.com/

And you can e-mail him your questions from the second site.
Bent has some other interesting stuff on it too. It's worth a look around.
don't depend on film to completely alleviate moiré. Persistence of vision, and small registration errors (Rostrum and Projector) can sometimes accumulate such that you'll get it anyway. Probably more noticeable during "moves". (X/Y moves can jitter, strobe and weave, and Z moves can moiré, right?)
