It shot the video parts with a Canon G20 camcorder. I edited with Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere. The moving red arrow was animated in Adobe Animate ( Flash).

Born: November 17, 1947, McMinnville, OR

Died: October 4, 2018

The greatest innovator in American stop motion has unfortunately passed on.

I can remember seeing ads for his ” Rip Van Winkle” movie on HBO ( at my cousins house). I was so happy when I got to see it, it is such a strange and amazing movie.

Vinton went on to what i assume was financial success with his “California Raisins” commercials and TV specials in the 80s. ( I wonder if they actually sold more raisins because of those commercials?).

A lot of MTV’s videos had his animation in them. I say “his” even though Im sure he had dozens, if not hundreds, of assistants at times.

The amazing stop motion movie ” Coraline” was made by the LAIKA company, which was the remnants of Will Vintons old animation company. I don’t know the whole story, apparently Phil Knight, the owner of NIKE sneakers, invested in Vinton productions and for some reason pushed Will himself out and put his (Knights) son in charge.

I feel bad for Will Vinton in that regard, but theres no denying that CORALINE was amazing and I’m glad it was financed and released.

A lyric video of the Rolling Stones ” Thousand Light Years from home”

It has the look of soemthing done with paper cut out stop motion animation, but I highly suspect it was done in Adobe Photoshop and After Effects. They probably used grain filters to make it look like film from the 1960s.

I think this little short film is REALLY well made, really great to look at.
