Check the video, called “The Worst Thing”, below:
The videos above and below were shot frame-by-frame using plastic figures and uploaded to YouTube and Niconico by a mysterious animator who goes by the handle Ugo-Ore Power Plant.
You can check out his (her!?) homepage here, but virtually no information is given about who Ugo-Ore is or why he (SHE!?) made these videos.
Take a look at the rest of Ugo-Ore’s work below.

▼ “Invitation Whistle Bazooka”
