1991. 16mm film. This was shot before video assist technology was available. You carefully planned the animation and went for it. But you had to wait to get the film processed to see the shot for the first time.
I watched this at USC Animation School in 1998 and thought, "Why even try claymation when Hittle is so dope?" Now I teach and a student just today came to me with a plan for a claymation dragon. I thought, "Check out Potato Hunter and see if you think you can step up to that level." Now she is pondering, "Why even try?" ...but we ALL try, harder, because this is so smooth and funny and strong. What a treat to see it again!
That was amazing!!!!! Im very glad I saw this! Great story great animation, everything was fabulous! I cant believe how awesome the digging in the wood looked! Loved it :D
wait... i never knew this video only had 5,000 views! What?? this is clearly one of the most amazing animations on youtube, this is like wallace and gromit! HOOWW?? and only 21 comments? this is insane! you are amazing and deseve millions of views!
Outstanding! Love it. I liked the Jan svankmajer still potatos burrowing into the wood like the move he made called ALICE. Pretty surreal stuff you did here and comical. I suspect you got this broadcast on TV , It really should be if it hasn't great work Tim.
I remember these from back in the day in the basement of Clark Hall at VU! Been tryin'' to follow your career guy... Also, I remember when HBO used to show this one as filler...
so this is what it was like for the Irish...
