Brilliant!

[MrFreakshow182]

Who keeps guns and explosives in their tool sheds? Meh, great vid!

[enbcart]

That was fab, proper good

[PandaApproved]

Awesomesauce!!! @2:20 and onwards

[FrogmortonHotchkiss]

The ragdolly movement of the figures is very charming; so's the acting.

[Krigarefronyttrerymd]

[zombie1411]

Awsomeeeeeee

[crazybonez5]

how long does it take you to do a vid?

[atomcounter]

Mate.. That was SOOOOO Sick! Really impressive man.

[plasticdan]

It's brilliant. Lee, you are an amazing man.

[KinkyBootz42]

Wow, I've used Super8 and stop-motion separately and they're bloody difficult enough on their own! AND SYNC! I can't imagine how much planning this must have taken, my mind boggles actually.

[HorrificanStudios]

The Super 8 helped it look even more like a big, great homage to the Evil Dead.

[blueboy287]

a bit different than the other but i like this one better!

[hongdekong]

but you can only shoot video with super8 or is it just me? how dyou make claymation then?

[63801170]

@hongdekong The best thing with Super8 "film" cameras was they had a "single frame" button. So, instead of continuous footage, you could shoot one frame. Lee sets up the claymation (eg. man, woman facing each other)... then takes a single frame. He then moves arm slightly, tilts heads slightly, (& what-ever else), then he takes another frame.... He had to consider ~24 frames per second x 3 minutes (std Super8 film length), & work out what he could do in the time. Brilliant! No editing! Legend!

[madmomentsgo]

cool animation

[Shiggedy]

So if I'm understanding this correctly, this is the original cut of your 'A ZOMBIE CLAYMATION'? Also, that the sound was recorded separately and blind based on the approximate time that had passed along the animation? Goodness, Mr. Hardcastle, you continue to amaze me. I have to imagine you storyboarded like mad on this in order to preserve my own sanity.

[leehardcastle]

@Shiggedy yeah this is it, shot on camera & untouched. If you made a mistake, you couldn't re-shoot anything. You'll notice the sound slowly drifting out of sync towards the end. Shaun of the Dead dir. Edgar Wright made a Straight8, search for "Forced Hilarity straight8"

[McLovinNator]

Website was spelt wrong I think.

[MrUpinsmouk]

Что-то напоминает, какую-то игру...

[jrockluv]

I love the song that played when the couple fought the zombies. Super awesome.

[marshell1b]

Still awesome !!!

[xocydneyox]

im not hating dont worry, but how is this not edited? like how are they moving and shit if its not edited...? actual question

[leehardcastle]

@xocydneyox imagine you had a video camera with a 3 minute tape to record on. And, you had to make a film with it but all you were allowed to do was press "record" / "stop record" until you'd recorded over the whole tape.

THEN, imagine... you weren't allowed to see the results of what you recorded until it was shown in a cinema with an audience.

That's "straight8"

[skumbino]

@leehardcastle Amazing work!!!!... but i just can't figure when and how you recorded the audio for the movie.. i'm very curious..

[leehardcastle]

@skumbino I recorded the audio first, then edited to an animatic for timing. Once complete, I animated the Super8 footage to the audio file.

[CardboardCityFilms]

Beautiful.

[Mrbrown677]

Amazing...

[Wintersx09]

nice

[cb91t]

Dude this was awesome! You should have a TV show here in Canada.

[HorrificanStudios]

Yay! You re-uploaded it.

[DangofaN1]

@PrancingCornmuffins a type of camera

[RavagingTerror]

Nice

[PrancingCornmuffins]

Whats a super8??

[sfighter991]

Nice work, you really outdid your self with the super8 camera.

[goldenhog]

incredible video!

[animehobo]

I wonder if it was hard animating the figures in such a tight area.

[glaceon101able]

And on that vacation you had a dildo? XD

[DKC1011]

you did a really good job man. I love your videos :D

[bearing01]

Looks like a remake with a couple extra frames at the end. Still awesome. /John

[dinox61]

Cool film, was nice :D

[lajoi1983]

Wow

[thirdlegmedia]

cool film :)

[Dududff]

Minor pet peeve.. Towards the end when covered in blood their mouths weren't moving I know why, probably due to the liquid and such, but still fairly noticeable for me.

Great otherwise.

[leehardcastle]

@Dududff The first time I saw my film was with an audience on a cinema screen, it's a miracle I achieved ANY sync sound. Lip syncing wasn't really a priority in the circumstances that I was forced to make the film under, check the link in the description to learn more.

[45plop1]

hey dude! you should really make a claymation about the small little faggot who cries in the webcam (Btw, that kid lied when he told everyone that he was bullied)

[FreeJump3r]

Wow new videos? *-* thx leehardcastle!!

[huttwigley]

Very cool for a "one take" film! 

[BlackSabbath86]
