New Animation: Crooked Rot

Posted by Doki - July 27th, 2008


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.

Have a look

Dude.

That was creepier than usual. Noice job.

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"

You Are God Of The North

Please Come to NG meetup to be perfectly honest i want to meet you lol

Good Stuff

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.
