The Power of Stop-Motion

Media in today's standard is quick and easy. Rarely is a show more than 2 hours long or 13-epiodes per-season. With that, animated movies are a lot slower than the typical films.

There is a discussion on if animation is suitable for film purposes and while it is often shunned by the Golden Globes or the Oscars or other awards. The very few outliers can prove these awards and the world very wrong.

But that is not what we will be talking about today. Because while animation is popular, there is a dark horse among its sphere. One with a rich history and strong filmography that should be shared. Let's talk about;

- Have I possibly gone daffy? -

Stop-motion is a film making style that compiles multiple still images of an object being physically manipulated in small movements into one whole scene.

Majority of Stop-motion films and videos use [Clay Animation] or [Paper Animation] with several more varieties of new innovations emerging under the umbrella of stop-motion. The most popular of them in the modern era towards kids is [Lego animation] which is the manipulation of Lego models in motion.

The earliest trace of Stop-motion in films is the 1898 short [The Humpty Dumpty Circus] by Albert E. Smith and James Stuart Blackton which is said to be a lost media. To compensate, please watch [A Tribute to Stop Motion]

In its early concept, Stop-motion was used as a method to create impossible things or do practical effects under budget constrains. Such as the iconic King Kong scene at the Empire State building. Since then, Stop-motion has evolved into a full production industry. From Indies; [Righteous Robot] to Juggernauts; [Laika Studios]

- Shimmer a Little at The Edges -

Unconventional media such as stop-motion is often not a style suited for every story. Its a rather expensive type of media that requires worthy innovations top break the niche barrier. Just looking at Laika Studios alone, we see that they've develop a lot of interesting ways to improve visual effects while staying to their stop-motion roots.

One perfect example is seen in < Kubo and the Two Strings > where the animators need to create water in a still image world that feels natural. [A Perfect Storm] one other part of the stop-motion puzzle is the iron-willed discipline it to conceptualize, animate and edit a production that can take about 3 to 5 years to complete. More so of a time frame than a normal film.

This difficult curve lead to budgeted methods such as using models that already exist to tell new stories. Such as; Legos or with crude multi-jointed figures of existing characters. [MOONSHINE]

While I may say its crude, the low budget production is the selling point. Assisted with sound bites taken from gaming sessions or from shows featuring a lot of inside jokes and memes. Also, its hilarious to see a Teletubby turned into a Eldritch monster.

These attempts to make stop-motion productions accessible has captured the attention of other like-minded channels to collaborate and elevate one another. [ERB: Harry Potter vs Luke Skywalker]

- For Better Tomorrows -

With all that is said, what is the power of stop-motion? As a media that is tediously overlapping across processes. What are the better tomorrows for our inanimate subjects?

I like to think, that as filmmaking grows. Stop-motion will continue to remain as a sacred tug against live action films and traditional animation. It can be used to tell complicated stories with concepts that may look strange if its adapted in a live action.

As I have mentioned in [The Beautiful World of Hilda] animation's greatest strength is simplification. Stop-motion takes the opposite side of that philosophy.

Its a higher level of world building of the materials with willingness to accept mistakes and ruggedness that gives them that little flavor of life. As an actual touchable thing, the various cartoonish styles can take on a whole new dimension to heighten the style and give it that detail that is less polished.

Stop-motion shows that filmmaking magic can still exist despite already knowing the tricks. Its a media where every frame shown has a significant purpose that invokes a specific flow. That's the power of stop-motion.

NJCS 2024 Round One Eliminated Contestants (Part 2/2)

Lamb Chop Status: Transitive Jew Thank you Shari Lewis for my favorite “THEY’RE JEWISH?” moment of the 2024 bracket! Just check out the holiday specials for Hannukah and Pesach, available for free in full on Youtube. Reason enough to get your dogs some Lamb Chop toys this year, I think.

Betty Boop Status: Practically Canon Jew Boop-oop-de-doop! Betty Boop, our first Black, Jewish, female president. All hail the chief!

Dina (TLoU 2) Status: Canon Jew I feel like I would have been best friends with Dina if we went to Hebrew School together.

Coraline Jones Status: Canon Jew

Yes, this is an official still from the Coraline movie! She’d already qualify from the transitive property thanks to our good ol’ Tumblr friend Neil Gaiman, but this quantifiable, proof positive evidence of Coraline’s Judaism is really nice to see. Thank you, LAIKA Studios!

Philip J. Fry Status: Coded Jew He’s a man displaced out of time, reunited with his distant descendant in a future New York unfamiliar to him. Sound familiar? And of course, we can’t forget Farnsworth’s iconic moments in the time travel episode “The Late Philip J. Fry”.

Davey Jacobs Status: Canon Jew Dunno what else I can say about this mensch that isn’t mentioned in his character bio from official audition material for the musical… God, I love Newsies.

“Go and look it up, the poor GUY’S head is spinning!”

Yasmin (Bratz) Status: Transitive Jew Just like Barbie, the Bratz dolls have Jewish roots! Created by Isaac Larian in 2000, and adored by his tween daughter Jasmin, we can extra-hard claim the doll that was named in her honor. Yasmin might not have a specified ethnicity within Bratz canon, but the Sephardic roots of her namesake is proof enough for me. Even her Ken equivalent is textually Jewish (his name’s Eitan!) Just like Barbie, though, it seems this tournament might not be the friendliest environment for the plastic pop culture icons. Don’t worry ladies, I see you!

Paris Geller Status: Canon Jew Textually Jewish, Transitively Jewish (by way of Liza Weil)… she has it all!

LAIKA movies

Ira and I visited Seattle at the end of August, and happened upon the Laika exhibit at the Museum of Pop Culture. In the exhibit were tons of the sets, models, armatures, and clothing from all their movies. Seeing it all made me realize that for how much I’ve thought of Laika as an amazing studio and how impressive I thought Coraline and Kubo were… I’d actually only ever seen those two. So we decided to get caught up on the rest together, in release order.

ParaNorman

I felt nothing about this movie

The Boxtrolls

Damn, this one was great. I’m trying to remember why I never watched it; I think I must’ve just read the name and blurb and was uninterested. Clearly I never saw a trailer for it, because the setting and designs are gorgeous and incredibly unique. I love the fucked-up, stupid Cheese England setting, I love all of the costume design, I love the Boxtrolls themselves and how they move (especially the tandem platforming in the intro).

This one did strike me how it felt like a bridge between the more character-focused, close-in shots of Coraline (and ParaNorman) and the wide, sweeping landscape shots featured more heavily in Kubo (and Missing Link). While Coraline certainly had its large setpieces (the house is obviously iconic), it feels like this is the turning point where they started working more on showing off huge vistas to lend a larger sense of place to their worlds. The mountain cave Kubo and his mom live in was my ur-example of this; the lingering establishing shot of Cheesebridge from Boxtrolls now supplants it.

One of the things that stood out to me in the exhibit that I hadn’t considered much before was all the clothing. I guess, somehow, I imagined they were just part of the model, like you’d do in claymation… but in fact each character has separate, fully sewn and handcrafted outfits that are put onto and worn by the armatures. Seeing it in person was pretty incredible; there’s tons of tiny details nearly too small to see, let alone create, and lots of them seemed to be made with custom fabric / textiles to get the exact shades and patterns they wanted. With that fresh and front of mind, watching this movie was honestly pretty staggering. The texturework alone on the outfits of all the nobility and the snatchers…

Deborah Cook is the head costume designer at Laika, which I’m writing down here in hopes that I remember it.

Kubo and the Two Strings

I saw this one when it first came out, actually, and was somewhat disappointed. I think that while I liked the aesthetic, animation and action, I felt let down by the narrative and writing - I remember coming out of the movie thinking that every joke fell flat, all of the dialogue felt slightly off, and the wider narrative didn’t conclude in a way that felt particularly satisfying.*

Holy shit, it hit different seven years later.

I started to crack within the first five minutes, as Kubo tends to his catatonic mother who can’t even feed or clothe herself on her own anymore. Then, as night falls, she becomes alert enough to talk to him again, even if some of the words are wrong, even if she’s forgotten a thing or two, even if she can’t quite finish some of her sentences… and then as quickly as the lucidity came, it goes again, leaving her incommunicable. Why yes, certainly, as someone who in that seven year time gap has spent a lot of time dealing with a parent with Alzheimer’s, yes, that scene certainly did have a wholly different connotation to it, and yes, it certainly did immediately make me cry before even establishing much of the story’s premise.

The dialogue landed quite differently to me this time around, as well as the tone of the movie in general. I think my first impression may have just been an expectations issue; obviously animation doesn’t (and shouldn't) have to be aimed solely at younger audiences, but in western productions it almost always is, so I think I went in expecting a certain amount of levity. Instead, the movie is just intentionally pretty god damn serious the whole time. Monkey is grim nearly the whole movie - her introduction scene consists of her giving Kubo a sharp reality check and telling him there’s no more room for fuckups, and any jokes she gets to make are usually at someone else’s expense. Beetle has some great line deliveries that break the tension, but the jokes themselves are never laugh out loud funny.

The thing is, this kinda just makes sense - the leads are in a bad fucking situation and the movie takes it seriously. The movie is about Kubo, a child, who above all else Must Not Go Outside at night because his grandfather ripped his eyeball out and wants to rip out the other one, Going Outside Anyway and getting his entire village destroyed as a result. After spending the entire journey with Monkey and Beetle, he realizes they’re his parents only moments before they are killed in front of his eyes. The movie tries to end on an uplifting note by swelling the music and presenting an uplifting voiceover, but there’s really no getting around the fact that the closing shot is Kubo standing alone next to the ghosts of his two dead parents. What the fuck?

With this in mind, the tone and dialogue really worked for me this time. Monkey is dead serious, because she knows she’s dying and she has one last chance, with the time limit measured in days, to get her only son to safety. With that context, the stern demeanor, slight remove and awkward clip of their interactions fully click into place, and now I mostly just find myself impressed by how serious and genuine they managed to keep this story and still get it distributed.

*Well, and I also remember thinking it was criminal how little shamisen was actually used in the score, given that the main character is literally a goddamn shamisen bard - and despite acknowledging that it managed to be enough to be the reason I want to learn shamisen, I still fully stand by that criticism today. On rewatch, I will at least grant it that the Regina Spektor cover over the credits fucking slaps.)

Missing Link

After loving Boxtrolls and Kubo so much, I was really excited to get to this one and see what the most cutting-edge release of Laika’s had in store. Ultimately… disappointing?

After the absolutely killer opening sequence, I was all-in on the character of Sir Lionel Frost - from the intense Loch Ness Monster setpiece, the vibe I caught was a smarmy, uncaring exterior covering a heart of gold, a man who would fight through hell for his comrades despite his faults. Unfortunately, he then unrelentingly spends the entire rest of the movie being an intolerable piece of shit to every single person he’s around. It feels like a lot was cut from this movie, or it had some issues in the editing stage, because the character arcs felt more like character right angles, and none of the reconciliations or growth moments felt especially earned or natural to me.

Also, I found it odd to release a movie in 2019 about a racist, English colonialist explorer trope character and not really interrogate it much. It felt like they flirted with it a bit, with some of the monologues we get from the Society Chairman indicating he’s even worse than our lead, but the movie making Frost look good by comparison still doesn’t leave him looking especially good. I seriously felt like I was teleported into a movie from the 80s while watching the dinner scene with the yak cookies…yikes.

The action sequence in the tilting boat was great, though.

Unrelated to any specific movie, this was also the first time I really dug into Laika’s past as a studio and how exactly Travis Knight came to be CEO. I was previously aware that Travis Knight kinda forced his way in there via wealth, but figured, hey, he does seem to at least be a decent animator, and I have to applaud one of The Rich using their fortune to keep an incredibly niche artform alive rather than the multitudinous bullshit they usually use it for. After learning Laika was essentially formed from the ashes of the studio of one of claymation’s pioneers in a somewhat forceful takeover, though…

Well, I think the upshot for me is still largely the same, but it definitely does make me feel some sort of way now seeing Travis Knight be the one spotlighted in all the post-credits timelapses and featurettes, that’s for sure.

Exploring the Creative Minds: A Glimpse into the World of Animation Filmmakers

Animation is not merely about bringing drawings to life; it’s about telling stories, invoking emotions, and creating entire worlds from scratch. Behind every captivating animated film lies the vision, talent, and dedication of animation filmmakers. These visionary artists possess a unique ability to breathe life into characters and transport audiences to fantastical realms. In this blog, we delve into the fascinating world of animation filmmakers, exploring their creative processes, contributions to the industry, and the impact of their visionary work.

Animation filmmakers are the masterminds behind some of the most beloved and iconic animated films in cinematic history. From Walt Disney's pioneering work in the early days of animation to the groundbreaking achievements of Pixar and Studio Ghibli, these filmmakers have pushed the boundaries of storytelling and visual artistry. Each filmmaker brings their own distinct style, sensibility, and perspective to their work, resulting in a rich tapestry of animated masterpieces that span genres, cultures, and generations.

One of the hallmarks of animation filmmaking is its collaborative nature. Animation filmmakers work closely with teams of animators, artists, writers, and technicians to bring their vision to fruition. From storyboarding and character design to animation and post-production, every aspect of the filmmaking process requires meticulous attention to detail and creative ingenuity. Despite the technical challenges and constraints of the medium, animation filmmakers embrace innovation and experimentation, constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible on screen.

One of the most notable animation filmmakers of all time is Hayao Miyazaki, the co-founder of Studio Ghibli and the visionary behind classics such as "Spirited Away," "My Neighbor Totoro," and "Princess Mononoke." Miyazaki's films are celebrated for their breathtaking visuals, richly drawn characters, and thought-provoking themes. With a career spanning over five decades, Miyazaki has inspired generations of filmmakers and earned acclaim from audiences and critics alike for his unparalleled contributions to the art of animation.

In addition to individual filmmakers, animation studios play a crucial role in shaping the landscape of animation filmmaking. From Disney and Pixar to DreamWorks and Laika, animation studios serve as incubators of talent and creativity, producing a diverse range of animated films that cater to audiences of all ages. These studios provide filmmakers with the resources, support, and creative freedom to realize their vision, resulting in a constant stream of innovative and entertaining animated content.

Animation filmmaking is a global phenomenon, with filmmakers from around the world contributing their unique perspectives and storytelling traditions to the medium. From the intricate stop-motion animations of Aardman Animations to the visually stunning anime films of Studio Ghibli, animation transcends cultural and linguistic barriers, captivating audiences across the globe. Through their work, animation filmmakers have the power to inspire, educate, and entertain, leaving a lasting impact on audiences of all ages.

Top five movies??

Oh god hitting me with hard hitting questions okay! (It's hard for me cause once somebody asks my brain gives me nothing.) In no particular order:

1. The Nightmare Before Christmas- a hyperfixation I've had since I was six years old. I can practically recite the thing word for word. This movie means a lot to me and I have many an item for it ajsj

2. Because of the one before I'm a sucker for stop motion so Laika Studios is one of my faves but a favorite movie from them... Paranorman I just love it so much. It's just so funny but also has its serious and somewhat scary moments while giving me one of the biggest twists at the end!

3. Friday the 13th- I'm a big slasher horror fan. I've been watching this stuff since I was younger and I love it so much! Just like... A classic lol

4. What's Eating Gilbert Grape- another fave I was kinda obsessed with when I was younger. It sticks in the back of my brain and sometimes I get the random thought of "match in the gas tank. Boom boom," and I'm like alright lol

5. A Clockwork Orange- I don't know man I just. The movie's so much of course it is coming from Stanley Kubrick but it's the costumes and the sound. It's just such an iconic movie.

The Magic of Stop Motion Animation

Introduction: Stop motion animation stands as a testament to the creative ingenuity and patience of animators, captivating audiences with its unique charm and tactile appeal. In this blog post, we'll delve into the world of stop motion animation, examining its merits, limitations, and highlighting exemplary instances where this captivating technique has been utilized masterfully.

Pros of Stop Motion Animation:

Tactile Aesthetics: The physicality of stop-motion—manipulating physical objects or puppets frame by frame—lends a tangible and textured quality to the animation, fostering a sense of realism and craftsmanship.

Distinctive Visual Style: Stop motion's distinct visual appeal sets it apart, offering a unique look that's characterized by its handmade nature and charming imperfections.

Versatility: Stop motion can be applied to various materials, from clay (claymation) to puppets, objects, or even cutouts, allowing for diverse storytelling and artistic expression.

Timelessness: The enduring allure of stop motion lies in its timeless quality, appealing to both nostalgic audiences and new generations alike.

Cons of Stop Motion Animation:

Labor-Intensive: Creating stop motion animation demands meticulous attention to detail, making it a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. Achieving even short sequences can require extensive effort and patience.

Limited Range of Movement: The physical constraints of models or puppets can restrict the range of movements and expressions compared to other animation forms, hindering some nuanced storytelling or detailed actions.

Notable Examples of Creative and Successful Stop Motion Animation:

"Wallace & Gromit" Series: Created by Aardman Animations, this iconic series utilizes stop motion with clay models, showcasing inventive storytelling and endearing characters.

"Coraline" (2009): Directed by Henry Selick, this stop motion film stands out for its darkly enchanting visuals and meticulous attention to detail, adapting Neil Gaiman's story into a hauntingly beautiful animated feature.

"Kubo and the Two Strings" (2016): Laika Studios' film blends stop motion with modern technology, delivering a visually stunning and emotionally resonant story steeped in Japanese folklore.

"The Nightmare Before Christmas" (1993): Directed by Henry Selick and produced by Tim Burton, this classic film showcases stop motion's ability to create fantastical worlds and memorable characters.

"Mad God" (2022): Created by Phil Tippett, "Mad God" is a unique and surreal stop motion film that took decades to complete. It showcases a dark and mesmerizing world built with extraordinary attention to detail, pushing the boundaries of the medium. This film is my personal favourite experimental horror film it has no dialogue yet tells a thousand stories perfectly without. Mad god also truly represents stop motions creative process with its creation time compared to run time alone, 30 years for 83 minutes.

Stop motion animation, with its tactile allure and distinctive visual style, continues to captivate audiences worldwide. Despite its labour-intensive nature and certain limitations, this animation technique has produced timeless classics and continues to be a canvas for boundless creativity, proving its enduring place in the ever-evolving landscape of animation.

                                                       The Magical Experience of Liaka Studios 

                                                                            Dante Calabrese

When discussing and going into depth on a film I remember watching fondly as a child growing up was called "Coraline". What makes this film stand out and memorable was the entire story, aesthetic, visualization etc. The film utilized stop motion animation to create this memorable and iconic film. I remember how special and unique the film felt for me when seeing it for the very first time in theaters and the creativity of it all. The film story revolves around a young girl named Coraline Jones who moved to a new town with her parents and left her old friends and life behind due to her parents book publishing work, once they move into their new shared old house her parents are immediately neglectful of her and never have time to spend with her and focus on their jobs rather than spending time with her. As Coraline struggles with adapting to her new house, surroundings and neighbors she stumbles upon in the very old house a small door locked up and covered over by the very old house wallpaper which she eventually opens up and finds out that it enters into another reality world exactly like hers but rather everyone is the same but better and exactly how Coraline pictures her parents to be especially. The only difference is these people are not the same, and they all have buttons for eyes shown into their eye sockets, and she meets her "Other Parents" which they are called. Eventually the more she visits the other parents and go through the door she becomes more tempted with the idea of staying there instead of returning to her actual life and real family, but she soon finds out it's not as it seems there and it shows the true colors and horror that awaits Coraline with the "other mother" being an actual monster and demon of sorts wanting to take Coraline for herself and sow in buttons to her eyes as well. Unfortunately stop film animation is very scarce in the film industry and not too many studios and films are created with this amazing style and passion, except for the studio who created this film and others called "Laika" and "Aardman".  

"I read the book of this movie in the 9th grade. Now I do not say this often, but I found the movie better than the book, I did not like the book when I read it. I want to try mango milkshakes. They looked great in the movie, and mangos are my favorite fruit. Dakota fanning is one of my favorite actresses. The cat was my favorite character. I also loved the fact that Coraline had blue hair." (Rotttentomatoes,December 27th, 2009). Two considerable events and importance that occurred during the year this film released back in 2009 were the death of Michael Jackson and Barack Obama becoming the 44th president of the United States of America. These two I remember happening but more the death of Michael Jackson, I didn't really know much about the music artist and only few of his music growing up and didn't know how he died or why, but for what I know now from back then is a lot more and different with the way I look at this historical day in history. As for the new president of the United States that year it has not really changed from what I knew then and now for the most part. After rewatching the film once more it is very much different yet the same just as I remembered it being 8 years old, it made me realize how much darker and serious the story tone is especially having more context and layers underneath it all without realizing it at the early age back then. The films style and art is more amazing and colorful than I remembered to be as well what especially changed and different was the realization of how much more horror aspects were implemented and shown at during certain film scenes, being much older and having more mental growth and comprehension I'm able to cherish and feel as if the film is a completely new version almost like an uncut release due to the matter of seeing more details and easter eggs I wouldn't have noticed before at a very young age. The film has shown to also have an adult audience in mind while making it true to the book and for being a children's movie even at times making myself question if this film is suitable for young viewers with how psychological and dark the tone is at certain parts of the narrative. 

What this says and shows regarding how history and individuals' memories can differ from a reconstruction or adaptation is the fact it will not always be true to the source material, or as accurate as once remembered. As well of other benefactor being the brain and mindset two different versions would have from one another even though being the same exact person, this same exact person isn't the same as the younger version once before, being older now and having so much life experiences and growth changes how you revisit a scenario, memory or even a movie once seen years and years ago being a whole completely different person than you are now.
