KING KONG ANIMATION

[paulalien]

LOL i love it keep up the great work ;-)

[SFVAfilms]

I would definately call that movie a success! I was no where near the quality of film-making you where doing back in 1978. I have to mention this, though, I could tell you had a few overlaps of what was behind those backdrops. It used to happen with me all the time with those non-relflex viewfinders on the old film cameras! I was sooo happy when they came out with reflex viewfinders! Your Animation is definately Harryhausen quality!!

@SFVAfilms

Yeah, I had some problems with the edges of the backdrop paintings showing for the reason you just mentioned. I just couldn't bring myself to reshooting the animation after having spent hours sweating over it. Thanks for the good comments!!

[ZAYDRO100]

Impressive! Please do 7th voyage of Sinbad.

[mdigitalman]

@TheKaijuKing9000

Thanks very much!!

[bsbob52]

Charming !

[dltanner99]

Cryptozoology novel see video book trailer

[joshloganbray]

That was a great video!!!!!!

[TedNewsom]

Very nice. Evocative of the original and consisten in action with the character, but not a carbon copy of it. This must have taken you an age!

[Adom]

Wow! Your first attempt back in `78 looks an awful like what I'm striving for currently.

[prodprod]

I remember doing stuff like this when I was a kid (nothing nearly so ambitious or polished) -- I can just imagine how frustrating it must have been after endless hours of work -- getting the footage back and realizing that the edge of the background art peeked in in certain shots. Arrrgghh!

[artguy53]

@prodprod

Ahh yes, but by then it is too late and in no way was I going to re-animate that entire scene. You learn from your mistakes.

[Titan52berg]

FANTASTIC ! A visual treasury of stunning animation work! Great fight scene between Kong and the pterosaur! Totally reminiscent of Willis O'Brien's 'King Kong'!

All the set work and background paintings are just as impressive! You have reimagined the classic and succeeded with Top Honors! Great work! FIVE STARS!!!

[artguy53]

@Titan52berg

Thanks for all the great comments and compliments. I have obviously been inspired by Harryhausen as have so many others. Stop motion will always be one of my favorite art forms. Thanks again!!!

[TheXboxReviewer]

I thought it looked great. Almost just like the original!

[MisterStopMotionMan]

nice job

[RexDawg007]

exellent...if this was the 60s this would be my fav. movie...btw where did ya get the puppet? great job 5/5

[cartoonballoons1]

Wow! You and I woulda been pals way back then. I was doing stop-motion stuff with GI Joes and a metal ball&socket Kong armature I had made by a metalsmith. Finally came out to Hollywood to work in movies--tho' not in FX. I gotta get my old super-8 stuff on youtube!

[StandardizedTest]

That is very, VERY good!

[Blendre]

Awesome! Love it!

[Vanoc93]

GREAT JOB!!! Where did you get the Kong puppet?

[megaman2160]

do one of Godzilla 1954

[Kousaburo]

Now that's awesome.

[TenderTrap86]

This is good. It must have taken you forever. Stop motion is great. It's real art and actuall sweat goes into it. Bravo.

[artguy53]

Thanks, I appreciate the compliment.

[TheCGIMaster]

[berabesu]

[Guitarhero18621]

i really hate to say this but.This animation was better than watching the whole original 1933 king kong movie.Dude you rock!!!

[cinescopefilms]

I have made a few animations in super 8

but this is a super cool!!

[jones13013]

Terrific, very great job!

[CJAproductionsINC]

This is cool! Good animation. :)

[Primevals33]

Considering this is from 1978 , this is well done.

[Moseslawgiver]

Super 8. Too cool.

I like how he is half quadruped, half biped like in the original, too.

And the Son of Kong music makes me cry.

[Gragorathegiantsnowb]

Wow, this is awesome! i like the design for your kong.

[GODZILLAANDSOUNDWAVE]

Fantastic job!!!! The design of the Kong and the animation was great!!!!

[Moseslawgiver]

Wow! Brilliant!

[Kingkongkessler]

very cool, nicely done and I love the score from Son of Kong playing

[MattBL]

Good job.

[tims44]

WOW! Really great job. I love the stop motion and the models.

How did you make Kong's face? Does Kong have a ball and socket armature?

[artguy53]

Kong has a very crude wooden ball and socket armature in this film. I sculpted the face in clay and cast it in latex.

[Davidito1978]

Very interesting.
