FLAIR

Today we were shown videos on stop motion and animation. One of videos we watched was a music video, "Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel. And all this while I was wondering where I had saw this name from and one day while looking through my music playlist, I found him, as a singer for a song on Wall-E's soundtrack. Heh. *small victory*
Was quite impressed by the stop motion in the Sledgehammer video, because there were so many elements in it and in those days that would actually be virtually impossible, but it happened, so really kudos to the animators seriously!
I was particularly impressed by Noah's Ark as well, it was like a compact and simple stop motion animation and the whole story was narrated like a rhyme. And the characters were too cute.


What's your favourite stop motion film? Mine is Jason and The Argonauts, from 1963, and the stop motion was created by Ray Harryhausen. It might look funny compared to all the visual effects laden films, but no matter what we can't deny that he contributed so much to the world of stop motion, which aesthetically satisfied our visual cravings.
