A return to the stop-motion here with Crooked (Orcus) Rot. This started off as an experiment to see if stop-frame would be any better using an SLR camera. The result would certainly suggest so visually, but it was a hell of a lot harder. This project really began when I discovered a treasure cave of strange items in my own back yard including mannequin heads and rubber hands. It inspired me so much that every time I returned I gathered more inspiration. Originally I focused on capturing light which is why the SLR was so important, but eventually it almost became a sequel to Hell with all the blood flying about . Composer Marcus Fjellström who donated some of his music for Men From Up The Stairs became interested in the project when I posted a few screen shots on Newgrounds and went on to compose the entire musical score. This is interesting because it's the first time that I have made the video first and then sent it to someone else to do the music. He did an amazing job.
I make cartoons and crap. I also make videos, podcasts and do a bit of writing. I make music as Locust Toybox, I'm The Manager and with the Grape Diggers (+others). fat-pie.com twitter.com/david_firth

Have you considered horror films? Also I have to ask, did you use sparklers? I wish my camera could take pictures that fast.
I thought it was quite good. Very surreal
That was really good, creepy too.
You should upload it to NG. :3
That scared me.
And I don't mean like, "that was so weird" kind of scary.
I mean I was afraid, and I wanted to click out, but I just kept watching.
you should submit it to NG even though it's not fllash.
It was cool.
I'm working on it.
What exactly did you use as a light source?
Pretty cool.
I wonder what a burglar would think, breaking into your house to find a bunch of sown up manikin heads and sawed off hands.
I would leave.
THAT WAS AWSOME!
It's your best stop-motion yet, beautiful to look at, yet quite disturbing...
I can't help but notice the tubes going into the head again, that happened in one of your cartoons too...
Perhaps a recurring theme that I've spotted? Like David Lynch and his recurring theme of stages in his films...
And who exactly would enjoy that?
Mmm.. truly brilliant.
Wow. Absolutely amazing :0
holy heck that was lovely.
also what sort of person leaves mannequin heads in someone's backyard
They were in my shed but I like to refer to is as a "treasure cave"

Very Chris Cunningham.. I like it!
These are what my dreams are like, almost identical to this stop-motion film.
At the start, the tap, is that water cling film? =3
Wow nice mate! this reminds of of "The ring" the death tape. it's not going to kill me is it? =[ Very good!
I love the pig face part, creepy as hell.
the whole thing was incredibly inspiring.
