VOTD: StopMo

zz3249e5b8

StopMo is a Stopmotion and 3D short film made by five students at Supinfocom Arles in 2008. The story follows an archaeologist who “gives life back to an FX cinema studio that was buried under the ground,” resulting in a battle between a stopmotion animated King Kong and a computer animated T-Rex from Jurassic Park. There are also a few obvious references to some of our favorite films. Watch the short film after the jump.

    Ha, the woods scene is pretty reminiscent of the Peter Jackson King Kong woods scene.

    That was pretty awesome.
  • Fir3Wolf
    That was actually pretty good and I really dug it. Nice animation as well.

    This was rediculously confusing to what was going on and where.

    Someone needs to work on their stop motion skills. It was good, but not a good tribute to Stan Winston.

    Stan Winston had nothing to do with King Kong. Ray Harryhausen, however, did.
  • simmy25
    Harryhausen was just a kid when the original King Kong came out
  • rokxstarr
    Stan Winston did however create the full size T-Rex for Jurassic Park.

    Maybe /film will post your tribute to Winston, you should send it in!
  • Awesome!
  • Mixing Stopmotion and 3D doesn't really work and this video proves it.
  • thespiansheldon
    My thoughts exactly. The parts that were good about each side worked really well on their own in this video. When combined-not so much.
  • HolyShitMatt
    I agree and the movie didn't entertain me at all. I understand their ideas but for me they didn't succeed.
