Hey. This is a stop motion thread, ok?

This is the Mysterious Stranger segment from the movie The Adventures of Mark Twain. The entire movie is great but this scene is by far the cream of the crop.

This was epic

Madame Tutli-Putli.
First short to use eye capture from actors put onto the puppets. It gives it a whole new life and stumbles a bit on uncanny valley territory.

Let's go over to Lee Hardcastle now. His claymations are quite popular.
Here's all the commercial vignettes he did for adult swim.

I love it, pity I couldn't find a better quality version.

so much nostalgia

if a movie brought back "live action" interacting with "stop motion" (like clash of the titans) would audiences enjoy it or would it just appeal to hipsters ?
lets say its a big CapeShit movie but all the aliens are Stop Motion Claymation....I wonder how people would react

it wouldn't be cost effective. stop motion is really human intensive and takes a long time to make.

I dont think there is much people who still do it but is it really more costly than CGI ?

That was very good.

It takes years to make full length features

I would be overjoyed, but the general audience would laugh at it and it would make no money.

It's a smaller industry so you can't shop around for cheap outsourcing. The initial investment can be sizable for individual puppets that are a physical product, sometimes multiple copies of everything and accessories. Contrary to popular belief they're not clay so it's not reusable. Then you have to manually pose everything "just right" for 24 frames a second for minutes/hours of screen time. Reshoots are a given. Then you toss in the post-processing to put them together and you're right back to CGI territory anyway, but with a different aesthetic feel and the ability to say "we used practical effects" in promotion.

There's something about British stop motion.

It has a creepy charm to it.

Yes, it is. You need to craft every single thing physically but it's also mostly about time. Each second has 24 frames, that's 24 pictures of a miniature doing an action.
It's like the definition of dying art.

Maybe they could use robot arms to pose the figures?

I used to watch this so much as a kid, it was on an Aardman VHS that I had along with a load of adverts and music videos they did. I initially watched it for the Creature Comforts sections, but parts like this really grabbed me.

That's madness, stop motion doesn't work without the human touch. I would be sad if I couldn't see thumbprints in a claymation.

That's terrifying

Sculpts smooth as fuck.
