Although CGI looks more "realistic", quality stop motion has a unique quality that makes it so much more lifelike. I believe it's the human touch, the animator physicaly influencing the figure's movements. I also think that when you see CGI, you know nothing is actually there, just a computer image. Stop motion allows the viwer to see something tangible making it far more life-like.
I hate stop motion! I laugh at modern "scary movies", but every time I see an old movie where they used stop motion it scares the hell out of me, I mean the monsters move so stiff which makes them look like if they were somewhat retarded but in a scary way like when normal people with a dark bakground gets affected in a way and suddenly they turn into psyhcopathic killers. If you know what I mean....
All the time they put into the stop motion is amazing. Now movies suck because now you can just do the CG. I rather have something like stop motion than CG sometimes because of how cool the monsters looked as they moved. ^^
This is what movies were like 70 years ago. Movies nowadays are already so realistic. It makes me wonder what movies will be like 70 years down the road...
@flamingserpanite strange, i don't see where i wrote ,,what/who is a thumbs up whore?'' but thanks for caring. but still, practically he is, because he said ,,Humon sent me, but i ain't no thumbs up whore'' to me it kinda looks like he asks for thumbs ups, but doesn't want to let other people know.
Actually, they didn't have foam rubber-it was liquid latex. This was applied over cotton which covered the steel ball and socket armature, or skeleton. In Kong's case, they used rabbit fur for his coating. At times, the stop-motion photography took months to complete. When we think about the hands-on techniques involved in the making of this movie, the results still look pretty amazing today.
Willis O'Brien, Who was the Special Effects Artist for this movie, used two different techniques to get a animated monster and a real person in the same picture. The first technique was that he would film the animation and real people separatley and mix the two scenes together. The second technique is that he would film both the animation and real people at the same time.
@xxxm0ris They were stop motion models -- three dimensional metal armatures with cast rubber on top that could be animated one frame at a time within miniature sets.
Some times, within those sets they would build *miniature* rear projection screens on which pre-filmed live action would be projected one frame at a time and the models would be synchronized with the stop motion models.
Other times, they would shoot stop motion footage and project them on large rear projection screens.
(cont'd) (2) -- as big as full-sized motion picture theater screens. In front of those screens they would construct partial sets that would blend in to the rear screens. So depending on what needed to be in the foreground -- the people or the models, you'd have tiny rear screens within miniature sets with the models in front of big rear screens with the people in front.
They also used tiny stop motion people in scenes where Kong actually carried somebody.
(cont) (3) If you look carefully in some scenes (for instance on top of the Empire State Building) you can see when the live action Fay Wray in the tiny rear screen switches to a tiny stop motion model Fay Wray as Kong reaches down and picks her up, only to switch back again as he puts her down.
They used other techniques -- for instance a process known as a traveling matte, when rear projection was impractical - say when Kong came through the big wall - but it was only partially successful.
The later big budget versions (1976 and 2005), made two serious errors (in my opinion): they portray Kong as a giant, but actual Gorilla: (Not so, originally he was a creature hundreds of years old, neither man, nor beast), and secondly, they tried to make Kong too human and lovey-dovey with Ann Darrow (especially the 2005 version), obviously so the audience would feel closer to Kong, and mourn his death. These changes made the later releases too mushy.
@rolex452 ....I did not think they were mushy at all.Bottom line was the gate.#2 really sucked,the gate showed this.Kong was a giant gorrilla,to compete on skull island,Kong was NOT a "Dinosaur",Hundreds of years old?Try millions.
@rolex452 Hay,brainless hundreds of years?????Even thousands is only what?1800's,Nope..Try millions,and open a book,why don't you? Kong was a Giant Gorrilla,and as much man as we are,being his desendants (Darwin).
completely agree with your comments. In the 1933 version, Kong was as much a Dinosaur as the other creatures on that island. He had a sense of mystery and awe about him. All we got here was an oversized Gorilla. The Ann darrow scenes in the new movie made my toes curl. juggling and the egyptian dance routine to entertain Kong and the scene where he is sliding about the place on his arse was rediculous. I dont know what Peter Jackson was thinking about there.
@ATVmidlands5581: thanx you caught my drift. You shouldn't try to make a monster too "cute" or give it too many human emotions & values. Another viewer billy1212ist said I should read a book about Darwin, as Kong is a real gorilla MILLIONS of years old, where I said that THIS PARTICULAR Kong (the one living on Skull Island) was hundreds of years old. Billy should be reading the book: modern day gorillas did not exist millions of years ago, nor did man or any other of the modern primates.
@ATVmidlands5581 this is a classic-incredible work,and these people obviously put their heart and soul into this.Don't see that much at all these days...
How true. This movie is astonishing even today. The creativity, the workmanship, the sounds/visual effects and the atmosphere of the film for 1933 is absolutely breathtaking. It must have blown audiences away in 1933 - only a couple of years after the addition of sound to movies. incredible really. The new movie missed it by a mile.
@ATVmidlands5581 Yes-the scene where the dinosaur chases the men was terrifying, one of the men trips, they know it may only be a matter of time...also the music right before the dinosaur runs into their raft. Everything in this movie fit.I still find it fasinating to watch.
Agreed, thats a great scene. The log scene in my opinion has not been beaten yet by any of the remakes. The tremendous roar of Kong is awesome too in the 1933 version.
The original Kong was as much a 'Dinosaur' as the other creatures on skull island - it gave him a great sense of mystery and awe. In the new movie all we got was an oversized Gorilla. The brontosaurus stampede in the new one is one of the most rediculous scenes ive witnessed in a long time.
@ATVmidlands5581 Don`t forget the film score by Max Steiner-it`s a classic in it`s own right!A very witty person(Oscar Levant)described the film as a "symphony with visual accompaniment".
Black and white=more scary indefintely, 2005 version wasnt scary for shit. in the 1933 version that creature that chases the men out of the swamp is fucking scary, the scream that the man gives when he is eaten is bone chilling.
Not bad at all for 1933 work, I can't even begin to think how they did it so well. Almost 80 years ago this was made, I bet this frightened everyone on its first release
@LegoKing345 The models weren't made of clay, they were made of a combination of foam rubber, cotton and latex. Do some research before you try and diss this classic movie.
@yourmom26297 i dont think it was a diss. its just someone saying what he finds funny. sorry not all of us are the 1930's king kong model professionals like you.
@erice495able You don't need to be a professional to know that, a simple google search will do. The point is it's sad to see the ridiculous myth that stop motion = claymation perpetuated. Also, the sweat and the soul that went into making these creatures come to life should not be dismissed as funny clay dinosaurs. Certainly, laugh if you find it funny, but give these artists their due respect.
Yup CGII requires time... but stop motion is more difficult. I do both.
There's no re-run in Stop Motion, there's no "perfecting" you have to plan it and get it right the first time, you can't tweak, you can't move lights, it's holding your breath all the time.
People rely too much on computer, nowadays... What I do in CG takes much less time than doing it in Stop Motion... and I can always fix it. But stop motion is more challenging. Requires more planning and there is no Undo! ^__-
@HeavyWeaponsGuy1231 actually the movie you're thinking of is the 1976 King Kong.. There's no such thing as King Kong from 1979. And you have allmost right, yes, many scenes were a guy named Rick Baker in an apesuit, but many scenes were also robotic. Did you know that they actually created a lifesize robotic King Kong for the movie? Don't know if it exist today, but there are a few black and white pictures of it..
@Spyflugan91 A full body King Kong,"giant" life size ? Nope."Parts"?...yes,Lang,sat in a giant life size hand.A foot and bottom leg,and head and neck.The robot was 20 feet tall used in 2 scenes,Looked real phony too.Dino De Laurentis got beat.
king kong is just to cuddly n' cute lookin' when he notices the last guy in that cave,lol.It's like he's sayin' "aha! ! i see you down in there! hmmm, i'm gonna be stealthy & get ya!"
Yeah i think some people bash CGI to much, its not like i say puppets or stop motion are bad and CGI is used too much i agree but it can look very well like in Lord of the Ring or Hellboy 2 and it is hard work for sure.
WOW im 20 n i enjoyed this! thought id av a look to see if the origanal had all the jungle/diinosaur scenes like the new one has. N it does! thats cool :D best bits of the movie wher hes still in the jungle x
Young viewers of this classic film: Please don't be so literal, and say "duh, that King Kong looks so fake! He doesn't look like a Gorilla." You must close your mouths and open your minds for once....watch the movie and LISTEN to the dialogue: Captain Englehorn was telling the story of King Kong, who was looked upon as a God to the natives for very very long time. Kong was a creature WHO WAS NEITHER MAN, NOR BEAST. Kong was NOT AN ACTUAL GORILLA, but a creature who resembled one somewhat.
@rolex452 I'm 20 and I love Kong. Would never say a word against him. However, you're right, some people watch the film ready to jeer at it without letting themselves enjoy the magic it provides.
@rolex452 ..Yep that = Giant Gorrilla,period.Also think the brains of the average 1930's person was what?7th grade if you were lucky.There were several models used,for different tasks.The 24 inch metal armature,covered with rubber latex,rabbit fur,the armature clay-like,and the clay,all with different uses.I still watch it now and then,it is just great the job they did,hard to beat those oldies.
The thing you have to keep in mind is that most of the visual effects you see in this film were improvised. These guys were just winging it most of the time. When an extremely difficult and complex scene was staged and shot, such as Kong's battle with the T-Rex they would process whatever they were able to accomplish for the day and then visually review the developed film on a daily basis. If there were any mistakes or something did't look right YOU SHOT IT OVER AGAIN!!!
You have the username "Twilightandnewmoon". I hardly think any Twilight fan is going to be taken seriously. Go away, learn what REAL movies are like and what TRUE MOVIE FANS watch, go through puberty a little, then come back to us with some maturity and an IQ OVER 40.
@twilightandnewmoon10 Clearly you like shitty movies rather than Classics I pity you. Really you like Twilight over this, this is a sad day for movies and true movie fans.
the only thing that ruins this is that fact that the gorilla looks so obviously fake...almost cartoonish...but for its time the effects were outstanding

@yourmom26297 i dont think it was a diss. its just someone saying what he finds funny. sorry not all of us are the 1930's king kong model professionals like you.
erice495able 10 months ago
@erice495able You don't need to be a professional to know that, a simple google search will do. The point is it's sad to see the ridiculous myth that stop motion = claymation perpetuated. Also, the sweat and the soul that went into making these creatures come to life should not be dismissed as funny clay dinosaurs. Certainly, laugh if you find it funny, but give these artists their due respect.

its called "acting"
and use some imagination
it was 1933, before computer animation
if a t rex was coming towards u, a person would either scream in fear or be petrified

Yup CGII requires time... but stop motion is more difficult. I do both.
There's no re-run in Stop Motion, there's no "perfecting" you have to plan it and get it right the first time, you can't tweak, you can't move lights, it's holding your breath all the time.
People rely too much on computer, nowadays... What I do in CG takes much less time than doing it in Stop Motion... and I can always fix it. But stop motion is more challenging. Requires more planning and there is no Undo! ^__-

@HeavyWeaponsGuy1231 actually the movie you're thinking of is the 1976 King Kong.. There's no such thing as King Kong from 1979. And you have allmost right, yes, many scenes were a guy named Rick Baker in an apesuit, but many scenes were also robotic. Did you know that they actually created a lifesize robotic King Kong for the movie? Don't know if it exist today, but there are a few black and white pictures of it..

@Spyflugan91 A full body King Kong,"giant" life size ? Nope."Parts"?...yes,Lang,sat in a giant life size hand.A foot and bottom leg,and head and neck.The robot was 20 feet tall used in 2 scenes,Looked real phony too.Dino De Laurentis got beat.

Yeah i think some people bash CGI to much, its not like i say puppets or stop motion are bad and CGI is used too much i agree but it can look very well like in Lord of the Ring or Hellboy 2 and it is hard work for sure.

Young viewers of this classic film: Please don't be so literal, and say "duh, that King Kong looks so fake! He doesn't look like a Gorilla." You must close your mouths and open your minds for once....watch the movie and LISTEN to the dialogue: Captain Englehorn was telling the story of King Kong, who was looked upon as a God to the natives for very very long time. Kong was a creature WHO WAS NEITHER MAN, NOR BEAST. Kong was NOT AN ACTUAL GORILLA, but a creature who resembled one somewhat.

@rolex452 I'm 20 and I love Kong. Would never say a word against him. However, you're right, some people watch the film ready to jeer at it without letting themselves enjoy the magic it provides.
MrCybershade 1 year ago
@rolex452 ..Yep that = Giant Gorrilla,period.Also think the brains of the average 1930's person was what?7th grade if you were lucky.There were several models used,for different tasks.The 24 inch metal armature,covered with rubber latex,rabbit fur,the armature clay-like,and the clay,all with different uses.I still watch it now and then,it is just great the job they did,hard to beat those oldies.

The thing you have to keep in mind is that most of the visual effects you see in this film were improvised. These guys were just winging it most of the time. When an extremely difficult and complex scene was staged and shot, such as Kong's battle with the T-Rex they would process whatever they were able to accomplish for the day and then visually review the developed film on a daily basis. If there were any mistakes or something did't look right YOU SHOT IT OVER AGAIN!!!

You have the username "Twilightandnewmoon". I hardly think any Twilight fan is going to be taken seriously. Go away, learn what REAL movies are like and what TRUE MOVIE FANS watch, go through puberty a little, then come back to us with some maturity and an IQ OVER 40.
