Once again, another lost music gets a premiere.

That's right you heard me.  Another music video about a certain ape gets premiered.  Not just any music video, but a lost one.  Like the previous two, this one gets a premiere and is made to coincide with the 1976 remake.  It is Century Orchestra with, King Kong is Back Again from 1976.  This wraps things up and stay tuned to this blog for more surprises and delights.



Enjoy.

Lost Music Video Premiere!

This music video you are about to see was originally going premiere in 2013, but the music video got lost.  Recently I found it (along with two others) and so here it is.  From 1977 (to cash in with 1976 remake by Dino De Laurentiis), it is King Kong is Alive and Well by D.J. Scott.


Enjoy and there will be more to come.

Dinosaur Daze Technical Issue

On Friday, I was going to continue working on Dinosaur Daze, but something happened.  The Athena 16mm Motion Analysis Projector malfunctioned.  Adam Savje, my Stop-Motion 2 and Optical Printing professor was in charge of the projector.  It malfunctioned because there was something wrong with the internal functions, so he sent it to the Film Cage and it will be sent for repairs.  I asked him when was the last time it was tested and working well.  He said "Two months ago." 

I told him that if the projector gets fixed, I would skip a work day and make up for the skipped work day.  He agreed.

Yes folks.  Currently, I am working at MassArt's Tech Central department.  I am doing inventory and making an animated safety film for the department.   So here are some pictures of the supposed dynamation shots for this 16mm production. 






This projector is used to study motion and timing.  Scientists use it to study motion.  Coaches use it to help athletes improve their skills.  Filmmakers and animators use it not only for rotoscoping, but for combining live-action with stop-motion animation.  While regular projector burn the film when paused, this one doesn't and the film never burns up.  You can move a few frame forward or a few frames back.  It is a great projector (pity that it malfunctioned).

New Music Videos!

On March 2nd 1933, the original King Kong premiered and on March 2nd 1886, Willis O'Brien was born. O'Brien would later be animating such the original Lost World (1925), The Black Scorpion (1957), the original Mighty Joe Young (1949), The Giant Behemoth (1959) and of course the original 1933 classic, King Kong (and it's sequel The Son of Kong).
Here is a picture of him with his Oscar for the original Mighty Joe Young.


Now here is a new music video by Finnish pop-star Frederik.  It is called King Kong.



So every Wednesday in March is a new music video with songs about the famous giant ape.
Enjoy.
