First off, I'm calling this an animation test, but it really has no stop-motion animation whatsoever. The main character doesn't even move. But there's a reason: This is an effects test. In particular, to test out making smoke as well as animating a lego flag.
The lego flag is a 3d model, and the smoke is an animated particle system. Both were done using only free programs, which means that if you lazy chaps actually set your minds to it, you could do this too!
Anywho, here are the links:

Hypothetically speaking, were I to make a film in which I needed smoke or animated flags, I would want to be comfortable with the effect. That is what this test achieved.piltogg wrote:Why?

In reality, I'm about to make a space film in which I need a lot of smoke. So I did a test. And while I was at it, I decided to digitally add an animated flag.

Worked well. Looked far better than anything that I could have done. If you want to make it seem more, say, realistic next time (I know, we Brikwarriors shiver at the word), you might want to try a greater range of flag movements, instead of the simple "perfectly light breeze" waving.
I second Bonn-o-Tron's guess: Blender?
