As someone who loves the extreme music videos and with very little knowledge in cinema, I heavily respect the fact you put so much research and effort into something like this.
The amount of work and effort into this is just insane . Leaving a comment so hopefully the algorithm picks this up cause this is criminal how little traffic this gem of a video is getting .
It was a blast watching stop motion films with you this past half year- some of them were heartfelt and some gave me nightmares but they were all worthwhile experiences
The Adventures of Mark Twain is on RU-vid. So do yourselves a favor and give it a watch, its genuinely a work of claymation art. And yes, the Satan scene is a total whiplash moment of existential dread that hits you like a bag of hammers.
I met John Cairney (Hylas) at a Jason and the Argonauts screening a few years ago. He didn’t like the director Don Chaffey at all, and considered Ray Harryhausen to be the director. I also got to meet Ray’s daughter Vanessa.
Fantastic job my man, excellent job. I can recommend a stop motion short film called Harvie Krumpet. Excellent film that tackles subjects like Dementia. It even won a Oscar aswell.
Super creative and unique idea for an amazing video!! Great stuff dude And yeah Fantastic Planet has one of the most gorgeous soundtracks of all time… def check it out if you’re into French psychedelic jazz…
How could you talk about Fantastic Planet and not talk about its AMAZING soundtrack. Good lord its epic. I didn't even know this film was stop motion. It's so brilliant
I recently watched all of Svankmajer's movies.. they are phenomenal. Alice is one of my favorite movies I've ever seen. I recommend Chris Marker's Les Astronautes. Fascinating short movie, done with paper cutouts.
Already know this video is going to be fucking awesome just by intro and title alone. Love the usual uploads, but videos like these are always a treat. Hope the hardwork on this one pays off tenfold wyatt
Street of Crocodiles is probably one of my favorite films. It actually does capture Bruno Schulz's prose style quite well, even though it is a rather loose adaptation.
You covered one of my favorite movies fantastic planet I'm also happy you covered Ray harryhausen I've been obsessed with stop-motion animation since I was a kid myself but you definitely have investigated this topic way more than I have kudos
Finally watched this video, great video as always Wyatt, thanks a lot for all the time and effort that you put into this video, really enjoyed, and thanks for helping me to discover Junk Head, I loved this one, cheers from Brazil :)
with chicken run mentioned along with the great escape, the great escape is an amazing classic directed by john sturges (magnificent seven) starring steve mcqueen (what tom cruise wishes he was) I randomly get the urge to rewatch it at least every month
I'm a big fan of Jan Švankmajer's work, but it's kinda disapointing for me how little recognition He gets here in Czechia, his homecountry. I certainly understandt it, it's all very surreal and avant-garde, but I've always found so much fascination in his work...
"The Great Escape" is about captured Allied prisoners escaping a POW camp, not a concentration camp, so it's not related to the Holocaust other than being set in WW2. Anyway thanks for your work, great vid, will be checking some of these out that I've not seen.
Educational and captivating ❤ Bat i thought you would be tacking as well adder names. Ok more know filmes bat... filmes like Heavy Metal, Wizards, Fritz the Cat, etc
I noticed you used katharsis as the background music, but have you listened to the other band called katharsis who made the album "suspension of belief" ? Really awesome unique industrial
Great video. In Czech republic, we have a tradition of stop motion and puppetry thanks to the Karel Zeman who was an influence to Jan Švankmajer, Terry Gilliam or Tim Burton.
I managed to see the Quay Brothers in person for In Absentia. Along with Harryhausen, so much of the E. European school set the standard by which most could be judged, in my personal opinion. I only wish an artist like Giger would've been able to find more interest in the medium. Some killer inclusions to investigate here.
maybe i missed it, but did you talk about frank zappa's stop motion? much like his music, it was other worldly, and in parts probably far more freaky than any other stop motion pieces! also, i'll mention the 1966 movie "1,000,000 bc" and the 1963 movie "jason and the argonauts" for some interesting stop motion scenes
I am surprised that you do this with how most of your content is music Related but I remember how you talk about wanna branch out to other stuff. also surprised you didn't talk about "The Magic Portal." A live action/Stop motion film using LEGO as they source of animation. it was released back in 1989 and is considered as the stepping stones (or Bricks) of the Brickfilm genre.
Dear Wyatt, Are you familiar with the Italian cutout animation artists Giulio Gianini and Emanuele Luzzati? They have created through the years these fairytale shorts, especially about opera, that are simply gorgeous. One good example could be the one for "La Gazza Ladra" by Rossini: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tNIyV2HcM-4.html They've also made a short educative movie about "The Magic Flute" by Mozart: highly, highly recommended.
More"Cartoon Adulting" to do here(hit a big red button with me on this): JAN SVANKMEYER & BROTHERS QUAY shorts are essential(Bros. Quay also did videos for TOOL back in the day); other fun American stop motion adjacents: LAND OF THE LOST tv show, THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT, PEE WEES PLAYHOUSE tv show, JOES APARTMENT short film, all LAIKA output(BOXTROLLS, PARANORMAN with bonus production documentaries); the psychedelic sequence in the 90's nature epic"The Bear";& finally, just some grown ass cartoons you need in your brain: COONSKIN(Bakshi), a response to Disney's " Song of the South" where the Uncle Remus characters are inhabited by SCATMAN CROTHERS, BARRY WHITE, & the black guy from MIAMI VICE as they try to conquer the NYC heroin market in the 70's(should have been the zeitgeist callback flick of the BLM protest years)*; ALLEGRO NON TROPPO, a response to Disney's FANTASIA's cultural colonialism toward European classical music with sex and violence; LIGHTYEARS(aka GONDAHAR) is a star studded treatment of an Isaac Asimov alien world where men & women are equal & all tech is biological; BABE 2: PIG IN THE CITY, because I like it when confused children start crying. This feels like a gateway video for your obvious & shared appreciation of practical effects in horror/fantasy/sci-fi flix. Maybe do a series of shorter episodes on that...just sayin. That would rule.
Wasnt a big fan of the new Stop Motion movie, the stop motion itself was pretty cool and idea was there, but it felt jumbled and the live action acting was kinda bad.
ahhhhhhh! im torn /: i love this content and im glad youre exposing your audience to the genre/medium, buuuuuuut i wish you put more thought into your presentation, like writing a script or at least not rambling as much. and maybe including some clips or images from the films? i think you could put a little more effort into pronunciation (for example, the czech guys name sounds like "yawn svonkmyer") and variety of words used; it felt pretty repetitive and was kinda painful for me to watch at times ): but man, im really glad youre talking about this stuff! ive been into stop motion like forever and imo it doesnt get enough attention. one more thing, have you seen tetsuo the iron man? its a wild and disturbing 80s japanese film with some interesting stop-motion towards the end. anyways i was debating whether to say anything at all... i mean no disrespect, just think of it as constructive criticism. (im sorry)
I get what you’re saying and it’s totally valid what you’re criticizing . That being said those changes are not what I want. Me writing a script is not me figuratively and literally. When I hear people read off a script it sounds like I’m watching a crappy news report than a person. I rather say the same thing that I feel than purposely expand my vocabulary because I kept looking up words in a thesaurus. Showing video clips is also not something I like doing and not because of copyright strike but my whole take is I want to come off genuine to the point as if me and the viewer were having a face to face conversations without phones or computers to show each what we’re talking about. Maybe my problem is I’m old school in the oddest ways on the internet but that’s what I love about doing this . Thanks though for the other positive feedback!
Tetsuo the iron man ! Probably has my favorite soundtrack of any film ! Totally forgot there is stop motion towards the very end until you brought it up it’s just I was so mesmerized by the practical effects my mind forgot about the stop motion lol
@@wyattxhim Not gonna lie everything this person said I actually disagree with. I enjoy your videos because there is no script. Your a genuine person talking and that's a lost art in this day and age of RU-vid. Everything is so edited and fake. I personally would rather listen to a person talk about a subject organically. Keep it up man! I came here for the obscure metal genres but I have stayed for your genuine down to earth personally. Take care.
@@wyattxhim i think theres ways to make reading from a script sound down to earth and casual but at the same time i appreciate your response and i can see where youre coming from. ive been a fan of your channel for a while and ive had these thoughts for other videos too but this was the first one that i was personally invested in and already knew a lot about, which i think is why i felt obligated to say something finally. i still think it wouldnt hurt to expand your vocabulary a bit; sure you can get by with less but the more words you know, the more complex and direct you can be with descriptions and conveying complicated ideas. regardless i appreciate you and your chill and thoughtful response, as well as the general maturity of your comments section; you are definitely cultivating a positive community thats interested in expanding their minds through new experiences in film and music. thank you.
I personally enjoy the non-script type videos like how Wendigoon does it. I'm sure Wyatt has some notes about the films and some quick info kind of like Wendigoon does, but unlike Wendigoon it's not his full time job and it's just chill more laid back conversations. Constructive criticism is always great for the creators so don't think I'm hatin on your comment or anything! I have been really wanting to watch Tetsuo The Iron Man, can't wait to see it.
