These are a lot of clips and animation tests that I made with some friends between 1980 and 1984. Mostly shot on super8

This is great!! Fantastic models and animation all on film. You don't see this very often.

Thanks, film was the only way to go back when these were shot. Today I have the option to shoot digitally if I want to.

Love this video. A couple of years ago I used to watch it every day!

Finding and watching stuff like this is like finding buried treasure. Super cool! The head-scratching tradition dino is stop-mo tradition!

Film is still the only good way to do what you did with the man(you?) putting down the box and the critter in the box moving around. Today, if you videotaped a man putting a box down, and then gave way to still, stop-motion images, you can see the difference due to the way digital and/or videotape captures live-action movements - it goes all blurry. And then with crisp, still images for stop-motion, there is too much of a difference for it to be convincing. Film rocks!

Thanks I started filming that film with my friend Jim on Thanksgiving day 1980. It took about two weeks from start to finish, no story just a test. It was the first thing that I did that actually looked OK.
