Feb 1 11 7:55 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I see my good friend Kess' has posted some of his wonderful stop motion, here. As a life long Kong '33 fan, I too always wanted a stop motion Kong puppet of my own, but didn't have enough spare money laying around to have one built up by the pro's, so I did the next best thing and bought an armature from Tom Brierton and decided to build my own puppet up. Anyhow, after several attempts I decided to do it the old school Delgado way! I'm not attempting anything like what Kess has taken on, but am hoping to learn fast and also learn compositing too. This clip does have a live waterfall background. The stop mo' is jerky, but, a) we all have to start somewhere and b) I have about 1 ft of space around the animating table making it hard to get a good look at things as I animate. The room should be cleared out pretty soon, so that will help things along. Anyhow, here's my Kongy effort for now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9ShIlaOYhQ

Feb 2 11 8:39 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Lol. He does indeed, Kess! I had decided what personality I was going to give my Kong before I started building him ... a grumpy, nasty violent beast, yet still a curious critter. I may do a curious Kong scene next, but he won't get through it and succumbe to rage again. Again, thanks for the comments. It keeps one going

Feb 2 11 2:13 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Your Kong is totally primal and vicious, Shran: the spirit of KONG 33 is alive and kicking here! I reckon your personality is different [through your animation] to Kess: both of your efforts show a different side of KONG. I love his whiter-than-white teeth and snarling lip: the composite waterfall is a nice extra touch. Here's hoping you will also post more clips like these. Well worth seeing! Pretty good Kong puppet, if this is a first effort. 'the horror..............THE HORROR!' Cartoon-strip blog here [updated regularly]: http://zoomertoonsrabsmith.blogspot.com/

Feb 2 11 3:24 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Shran! That really looks like KONG, especially when he first pops up behind the rocks! The blinking eyes and turning head were so spot on.

Feb 2 11 10:09 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	How about a collaborative sequel: 'Kess Kong vs. Shran Kong'? 'the horror..............THE HORROR!' Cartoon-strip blog here [updated regularly]: http://zoomertoonsrabsmith.blogspot.com/

Just a shame Kess lives about 8000 miles away from me. I'm toying with the idea of having Shran Kong climb down into the pit and give a spider the thrashing of a lifetime. It depends on how much of the pit I would have to build. I have foam blocks big enough, but for some reason my hot wire foam cutter has stopped working, I only used it once to create the mini cliff in my Kong scene.

The model looks fantastic, shran! A perfect Monster has no end...

Feb 3 11 3:34 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Bet your 'spider-pit' sequence would look more authentic than the Peter Jackson version, Shran! You could even put in a composite job with a live-action insert of Driscoll in the mini-cave, like in the original. 'the horror..............THE HORROR!'
