Stop Motion is grand

Alex Riviello from CHUD put up a great little article putting the spotlight on Brian Lonano from Robot Hand Films. Unlike other filmmakers out there who tries to use as much CGI as possible, he uses the time honored tradition of stop motion animation. Something this world needs more of in films. Fine, it doesn't look as polished as say Transformers, but I still think the original King Kong is by far a better film due to the fact that Kong was all stop motion. Not to say there wasn't any passion in Andy Serkis' performance or Peter Jackson's direction. I like both version. Hell, I even like the 70's version. But not the sequels though. Fuck them with a rusty spoon.

But yeah, check out the above video, check out Robot Hand Films website http://www.robothandfilms.com/ and see the 1 minute teaser video for his new film, Attackazoids. Looks simply amazing, such a throwback to the good old days of film making. I know it's not for everybody, and I'm happy about that.

I know the people who will like this type of film will cherish the end result, which is showing at various film festivals. I need to go check it out somehow. Hopefully New York gets a screening of some sort.

Off to Carnegie Hall tonight. My gal's little brother is performing with his school.

Fun.
