G.I. Joe + Stop-Motion + The Thing

I recently stumbled across this homage to John Carpenter’s film, “The Thing”, and was completely amazed by the quality of stop-motion animation accomplished with G.I. Joe action figures. Not only is the animation of the characters impressive, but also the set design. It hasn’t been long since I last saw “The Thing”, and some of these set pieces are dead on. The music’s another high point… creepy and building, a perfect complement to the subject matter. I like.

I made this little animated sketch a while back. The characters are doodles I drew during class (I need to constantly doodle in order to pay attention).

I completely forgot that Mel and I had made this until someone reminded me about it over the weekend. I don’t know if we ever gave it a title. I’ll call it… FARM ANIMATION.
