[KevinBusomjack]

good old fashioned stop motion!

Looks so fake.

[adfadfewfrewafawefaw]

@N00bcrunch3r well golly jee i think it might be fake

[N00bcrunch3r]

@adfadfewfrewafawefaw

Holy Crap! I made such a statement? I guess pointing out the obvious was kind of stupid.

[Trund27]

@N00bcrunch3r That's because it's animation. They did not film living mammoths

[N00bcrunch3r]

@Trund27

It's not even animation. It's clay models. It's not just that it looks fake, it's also very choppy and has very unnaturally stiff movements.

[Trund27]

@N00bcrunch3r It is animation. they are animating clay. Making them move!

I guess we can disagree on quality of movement. I find it charming (considering it's a skill I don't possess)

Cheers

[N00bcrunch3r]

@Trund27

Perhaps I should be more specific--MODERN animation! I do not possess the skills to make clay animation, but I possess even less skills to make CGI animation.

[Trund27]

Oh, my. THIS is where my enduring love of Woolly Mammaths comes from!!!!!!

Imagine if Ice Age looked like this. :O

[LeonardoDaFinchi]

This reel was still playing in the Museum of Victoria the last time I checked.

Is this copyrighted?

[fandejp05]

It looks like stop motion.

[ShallowThoughts]

Actually it's start motion, a new type of technology as of 2005

[AllRequired]

@ShallowThoughts Funny you should mention that, because the Vignettes date back to around 1978.

[coldfarted]

@ShallowThoughts Looks more like 1935 technology.

A baby Wolly Mammoth a lot like this one was found incredibly preserved in Northern Russia in 2007. She was named Lyuba. (Look it up)

[t1mmytee]

They're so cute--where can I get one?  Best wishes from northwest Pennsylvania (their bones have been found in a local lake).

[El135o]

Somehow more charming than CGI ever will be ...
