Thanks to Disney, we get to see two (with a third coming soon it seems) 360 degree virtual tours from the set of Frankenweenie!!! Tim Burtons new stop motion feature hits the theaters Oct. 5 but this glimpse into their world is going to get us all pumped up like crazy for the release.
Take the tour here.
Ladies and gents, the wait is finally over! The Maker — our favourite stop motion short featuring the critters of Amanda Louise Spayd — is now streaming online for your viewing pleasure as part of The Wrap’s first-annual Short Film Festival.
Watch it, watch it again (and again, and again, and again) and then be sure to cast your vote for the film! Grand prize is $60,000 worth of camera equipment and having seen many of Zealous Creative’s cinematic endeavours, it’d certainly be put to good use!
Jaw. On. The. Floor.
Scott Radke was recently commissioned by indie filmmaker Jim McKenzie to bring two of his characters to life, Roach and Fred the dog, from McKenzie’s fantasy-drama short, King Killian.
I could go on and on about how fabulous these sculpts are, but your time would be far better served watching the film. It’s the most powerful 2 minutes and 23 seconds you’ll experience today.
I know. Hits you right where it hurts the most. The Killian project was McKenzie’s labour of love for two years, working on it while attending college and then eventually finishing it as part of his degree. If you’re interested in the project, check out the King Killian blog for some insight into the process.
Huge congratulations to Zealous Creative and our own Amanda Louise Spayd for winning the Audience Award at the SXSW poster competition for The Maker! While there were many strong entries, the striking peculiarity and charm of Amanda’s ‘Maker’ puppet (and beautiful, embroidered logo) were enough to sway the judges and secure the short film a triumphant win. Attending SXSW this weekend? The final screening is TONIGHT (!!) at the Alamo Lamar C from 7:15 to 8:48pm. SXSW is on until Sunday.
