DR JAY Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but during another sleepless night transitioning between night and day shifts I found this and thought I'd share the link. It's the home made result of teenage boys, a Brownie camera and model collections combining over 2 months in 1971. I thought it was pretty cool...

Ace-Garageguy Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Remarkable piece of stop-motion work, especially considering who did it. It's as good as some of the Ray Harryhausen "Dynamation" effects before CGI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbowser Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Wow! How many 15 year olds have the patience to produce something like this? Pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62rebel Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 ab-so-lutely awesome. i used to sneak my Mom's camera to take pictures of models and wait for the ... fallout, later on... sometimes the pictures came long after the model was toast. (impatient kid, i was)... come to think of it, i have a picture of some of my builds from around 1978 or 79.... gotta dig em up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miatatom Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 That's an amazing job. I sent the link to my granddaughter to get her reaction. She's becoming a whiz at editing. I'm sure she'll be impressed since my son, her Dad, was only 4 when you put it together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrecker388 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 That was very cool. I wouldn't have the patience to do one turn, let alone a whole race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randx0 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 That is almost better than actual race footage . Very impressive. I really liked the people in action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimKustom Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 As others have said, this is an amazing video. I found and contacted the creator of it. He said the people were pipe cleaners with hand made uniforms and clay heads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intmd8r Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Amazing work considering the technology (lack of) in '71. The dedication to the project - wow. 2 months is a long time for such a short film. Think how far we've come where kids are uploading pics & "selfies" instantly from their phones to Twitter and all that other stuff. My 1 & 3 year old know how to navigate YouTube better than I do?
