The Wizard Of Speed And Time

[dwynnell]

Mike you inspire me to be happy. Where ever you are, thank you.

@pearberryspritz I've been going around Fanfiction net telling ppl about this film. Lots of ppl there r into fantasy but they've never heard of this film. So if u want a DVD release, tell as many ppl as u can, so there'd b a higher demand for it.

[Kuroneko388]

I just luv this movie, tho I wish someone would put more compilations together like this. maybe add Animato and Time Tripper to these two. Those one r great, i especially like Animato.

I think he took one too many hits of acid

[UncleMilo]

@crazysoccerman14 How sad that some people always make the drug reference whenever they encounter anything remotely out of their tiny, tiny little spectrum of reality.

[dazzlerby]

@UncleMilo how big is your spectrum of reality, pal?

[UncleMilo]

@dazzlerby Pretty damn big. I'm so glad I had my parents for parents. They took me to art museums, and the theatre, and movies, and they encouraged creativity. I was able to look at talent and be impressed... not recoil from it in terror and accuse the talented of being drug abusers.

@crazysoccerman14

I'm willing to bet he didn't need any. If he did take some, he took just enough. It would be nice for everyone else to take enough to get to his level.

[MsCactusWren]

Nothing stops the creative spirit!

[ImBobTheWhale]

the only wizard to beat the shit outa Communism, fuck yeah! 4:23 

[panasker]

Let's see Mike at W00tstock!

[panasker]

Mike is ALIVE AND WELL and I HOPE upon HOPE that we MAY get him to screen his SHORT at "W00tStock", the brain child of Wil Wheaton, Adam Savage, and Music Duo, Paul & Storm...THAT would be a cool deal...what do YOU think? Tweet about it to Wil, Adam, and Paul & Storm...This guy was a GEEK/NERD before Geek Nerd's were COOL!

[KrautGoesWild]

05:18 - I remember my brother and me lying on the floor laughing!

[FlaviaR]

Can't thank you enough for uploading this - I got to share the magic with my children!!!

[jameshg]

Forgot how awesome this is. Well done Mike.

[Mayortwilleger]

The movie was watchable but this scene blew me away when I first saw it. Brilliant.

[pearberryspritz]

aww...I miss this movie...I wish it could be made on DVD. My dad has an old VHS copy somewhere. It's all sorts of nifty.

[jixter951]

I was working at a rent to own store in 1989 and I got a promo package in the mail and took it home. I played it until my VCR ate the tape. Thanks a ton for posting this. How about a special edition DVD and toss some money to Jittlov?? This is a tasty morsel from the good ol' VHS days... Fantastic stop motion in this movie. Thanks to you Mike for hours of joy in the late 80s.

[bluworm]

5:03 -The astronauts in the space shuttle are stop-motion animator Jim Danforth and his wife! I think Danforth did some animation in this one.

[ReverendSyn]

2:40 - Fucking EPIC.

[YukoValis]

Thank you soooo much for uploading this. 3 times now people uploaded only half and have been such a tease. A low-budget stop motion movie about making a low-budget stop motion movie....Genius!

[scottandrewhutchins]

I love this film, of course, with a hero like Mike Jittlov, it's a wonder I'm 32 and have yet to make a feature (although I do have a screenplay contract for a work for hire that's not my idea).

[Darwinsmistake]

Oh god how I love this movie... Inspired me to make all sorts of silly stop-motion films when I was a kid. It's probably just nostalgia talking, but effects like these always seemed to look better in their own way, and be put to so much better use than the stuff they cook up in computers nowadays.

[Bimmyjond]

The tripping into space is awesome. I laugh every time.

[suprx3]

So, a quiz for you wizard fans. How many times does Mike Jittlov actually appear in the films???

[suprx3]

So, quiz for you wizard fans. How many times is Mike Jittlov appear in the film??

[COMALiteJ]

I heard that he offered to do the SFX for the "The Flash" TV series of the early 1990s. Too bad they didn't take him up on that offer. The effects would've been MUCH better (they were little more than extended motion blurs as it turned out) and cost WAY less (each episode cost $1 million to make — in 1990 dollars! — a MAJOR factor in its cancellation).

[mizunage]

Fuck me!

this movie must of taken ages to

make

but it is brillent though.

well done

P.S

[suprx3]

Last thing I seen from Jittlove was some work he did for Ghost. The shadowy hell creatures in the end were his.

[Filmwolf02]

Sounds about par for the course. I have a copy of this film on VHS and I picked that up for about $3 brand new several years ago, so I'm guessing he must've gotten the severely short end of the deal. Pity, it's a fun film and he deserved the accolades he got for it

[Energyone]

This is straight from the movie, I don't know what you are talking about.

[ringsofwater]

great flim,,,

[suppagoku]

you're right this is no the reel thing.

[JohnConnor2029]

The system cheated him, that's what happened. His producer stole the film from him and sold it to a now defunct distributer. He can't get the rights to the film back without heavy litigation.

[SCE2AUX]

The evil producer shown in the movie was in reality...an evil producer.

[pmokadakeisuke]

There is no doubt that this movie wouldn't be as epic as it is without Jittlov. Screw the money hungry bastards that stole it from him. It is sad really. Poor guy.

[katya514]

My husband met him at a science fiction convention years ago. Jittlov's comment when my husband told him that MJ's work had inspired him to work in movies? "I'm sorry...."

Sad indeed, to see such a creative spirit crushed by greed and selfishness. Mike, wherever you are, a lot of us do love you and would happily support your work.
