Mixing Stopmotion Animation With Live Action Movies!

Over 100 years ago a pioneer in stopmotion animation, (1892-1965), started making the first short movies with stopmotion animation after his experiments with documentaries on insects. One of his first movies the 1912 Khanzhonkov Company Moscow , produced “The Cameraman’s Revenge” featured beetles and “infidelity” of all things! (Ladyslaw Starewicz)

Originally Starewicz would use wire legs to attach to the insects’ bodies. Later he would use quiet intricate ball & socket armatures ( well before his time ) combined with leather and felt-covered puppets in place of the delicate “dried” insect carcasses. He further extended his characters to frogs and human like figures in “A series of Animated Figures executed by the Russian Art Society of Paris” in 1922. While these animations had no live action intermingled in them they set the stage for Stop motion animation movies to come.

In 1925 Willis O’Brien (1886-1952) wowed audiences with his effects work on a film adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Lost World

A precursor to this were some of O Brien’s earlier stop motion animation works; notably “The Dinosaur and the Missing Link: A Prehistoric Tragedy” in 1915. . O Brien used clay animation characters in this movie.

 

Soon after he began work on a similar movie about people stranded on a deserted island full of dinosaurs. This feature was originally called “CREATION”. Unfortunately, studio executives lost interest and dropped the project early on in production. They however did employ O’ Brien and his special effects skills on a movie originally entitled

 “THE EIGHTH WONDER”. 

 

 The film was released in April 1933 under the title “KING KONG” a true classic for film history. This was undoubtedly one of the first mainstream
