Teaser Trailer for Clash of the Titans

Speaking of stopmotion vs computer-generated SFX, here's the first trailer for a CGI blockbuster remake of a stopmotion classic, Clash of the Titans.

It's interesting the way our view on what makes for appropriate epic music scoring has changed....

Creating the Raiders

Larry Arpin, who is currently working on a scifi monster film that utilises the stop-motion technology made famous by the 1933 King Kong's Willis O'Brien and the great Ray Harryhausen, has sent along an exclusive SFX reel showing how he creates the pre-CGI magic.

The film is Galactic Raiders and you can read more about it on Undead Backbrain and on this site:

Update: She-Rex

Low-budget genre auteur Brett Kelly's prehysterical dino-comedy She-Rex has just wrapped and can be downloaded from The Content Bay for viewing on your PC/Mac. It will be released to DVD very shortly (27 November).

Synopsis:

Dan and Stan are the world's greatest adventurers -- at least in their own minds! When the two morons are sent to a lost island to rescue a wealthy pair of treasure hunters, chaos ensues. The adventurers encounter a tribe of sexy jungle girls who worship a flesh-eating T-Rex! She-Rex is a tribute to the classic comedy of yesteryear.
