	Duration: 04:36 minutes Upload Time: 07-06-27 03:38:47 User: richragsdale :::: Favorites :::: Top Videos of Day
Description: This is my first fully animated stop motion music video. The band it THE CO-PILOT EFFECT from england. This isn't 100% finished, but I wanted to get some reactions to it. It was obviously heavily influenced by all the usual suspects - Ladislaw Starewicz, Svankmajer, The Brothers Quay, with maybe even a dose of Harryhausen around the end parts. here is the lowdown- It was shot entirely with a digital SLR still camera (Nikon d200) I built the puppets with Erica Frank, using wire,foam, cloth, and animal parts. The "sets" were my kitchen table. It was lit with two different desk lamps. The bookend string quartet music is music I wrote a while ago. (I want to use the actual violin tracks from the song, but haven't gotten them from them yet) edited with FCP and Photoshop blah blah blah please lemme know what you think

eazymomo ::: Favorites this is fantastic - i have a feeling you have already checked out the Fred Stuhr videos - although he's obviously a fan of Ladislaw Starewicz, and the Brothers Quay - as you have already mentioned they influenced you. just superb - don't ever listen to anyone else - but be so god damnned self critical as that is the only way to ever produce good work. a masterfully engineered piece of animation....brilliant. 07-08-16 12:45:45 __________________________________________________

gollum42 ::: Favorites Very cool! Great use of moving ominous lights and stuff. Very dark and textural yeah. Must have taken awhile huh! I myself am actually starting soon a stop motion animated video for a band as well, albeit one that will be much less dark, but still...excitement and nervousness abounds for such a big undertaking! Great job. -CAP 07-07-18 13:04:59 __________________________________________________
aNILEator ::: Favorites Yeah very good I enjoyed it, great lighting, now for constructive criticism, It's a shame the character did not walk he glided, i think it could possibly add a little more scariness if he was walking/creeping around, the use of blurred fades/transitions was used a bit too much I think. But you obviously understand how to make a good animation you should check out Fred Stuhr and Tool's Music Videos 07-07-17 05:55:02 __________________________________________________
