Witness as a crack team of paratroopers investigate an icy base camp with a diabolical secret hidden deep within a sinister laboratory. There lying in wait are the most insidious and evil creations mankind has ever seen! Evil in the form of Nazi Dinosaurs! God save us all.
This snazzy little film was created by artist Alex Poutianinen in just five days and for just 20 bucks. Yeah, it shows but non the less it’s clever and funny.
The Underwire has a short feature of artist Michael Sullivan’s short film “The Sex Life of Robots”, which you can watch above. Sullivan’s original idea for the stopmotion film was a war movie featuring armies of battling robots, but then he came up with a better idea on what to do with his legion of robots: make love and not war. Thus “The Sex Life of Robots” came into non-stop robot sex life.
Sullivan has worked as an animator, prop fabricator and lighting designer for over twenty years. His work has been featured in the Tribeca Film Festival, “Transformers” the television show, Peter Gabriel’s “Big Time” video, a short animated EFX for “Star Trek V”, “The Big Bear in the Big Blue House” and “Joe’s Apartment.”
Clips of “The Sex Life of Robots” and an exhibition of some of Sullivan’s risqué robot sculptures are now on temporary display at Manhattan’s Museum of Sex.
Here’s the movie trailer for the upcoming stop motion animated film Coraline which is directed by Henry Selick (A Nightmare Before Christmas) and based on the book of the same name by Neil Gaiman (Sandman). The film is due out this coming February and looks creepytastic.
It’s Friday and I feel like rocking out, so here’s a video for arguably one of the greatest heavy metal songs ever – Sepultura’s Ratamahatta. It’s filled with stop motion craziness, Brazilian kettle drums and face-kicking Metal.
