I posted a stills video back along, but found the accompany video and was astounded. I couldn't stop watching it - it's back on loop, even now. Video that makes love to your eyes and music that ravishes your ears. This reaches so deep inside my psyche, it's unreal. I swear, when I am done with my degree, I will branch out into stopfilm. Huge interest of mine (puppets again).

Puppet master … an animator working on Anomalisa.

Few people would have put money on old-fashioned stop-motionanimation surviving this far into the digital age. Compared to modern computer animation, it’s like writing your emails in needlepoint. But stop-motion has not just prevailed, it has moved into new territories. Once associated with children’s entertainment, it has somehow found a new lease of life among “grown-up” film-makers – be they live-action auteurs, or animators dealing in darker, child-unfriendlier content. Anomalisa ticks both boxes, and it’s the tip of an iceberg that’s still growing. Wes Anderson, for example, translated his corduroy-suited sensibility into stop-motion for 2009’s Fantastic Mr Fox. It worked so well that he’s making another one, reportedly about a pack of dogs. In addition, we’ve had a steady stream of horror-tinged stop-motion works like Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride and Frankenweenie, and Laika studios’Coraline, Paranorman and Boxtrolls

Forgive my interest in the slightly weird - I just love animations :-)

I came in to listen to a lecture on scriptwriting today and later sat in on a different lecture - FdA English Year 1s, who appear to be a LOT more switched on than our class ever was. Also, my former lecturer from Access was lecturing, so it was nice to see her again. She was very helpful too, as it was reiterating Psychoanalytical Theory - especially Freud's essay on 'The Uncanny.' She used a disturbing stopfilm animation called 'The Sandman' to underline the fears of things sensed rather than things rationalised.

Alas, the Youtube member who has the film has disabled the embedding code, so I have supplied the link to the film either by tapping on the picture above, or this LINK

Oh and good luck sleeping tonight mwahahahaha!

This cheers me up so much :-)
