A couple of years back I helped my buddy Tak on a stop-mo film called “Death of a Matriarch”. He got a grant from the Center of Puppetry Arts to put it together. The film has developed a nice life of its own on the festival circuit to the point that it was fast tracked into IMDB. Tak was generous enough to give me asst animator cred so I have my own IMDB entry! I must be a animator now, no? …no? Anyway here’s my link:

This is fucking great. I love the built in tutorial on using replacement puppets for Stop-Mo. I love it any time the animator tips his hand. What’s that called? It’s not quite “breaking the 4th wall”. Anyway, the papercraft is gorgeous. The animation is smooth. I even like the song. What’s not to love here?
