CALLIOPE: Stop Motion Animated Short Film on Kickstarter

This is a really awesome project to back on Kickstarter! Stop Motion Animation is very time consuming  and takes a long time to complete a film. Circus Posterus (Kathie Olivas & Brandt Peters) just launched their Kickstarter Campaign HERE. They have a lot of awesome rewards.

"The goal of this Kickstarter project is to raise enough capital to help produce and finance Calliope as an 8-10 minute (feature production quality level) stop-frame short film and to produce it within 15 months (starting after the conclusion of this successful campaign) including its incentives."

Universal Monsters Action Figures Stop Motion Animated Short Film

 
Diamond Select Toys sent us over their First ever Universal Monsters Action Figures Stop Motion Animated Short Film title "Trick or Treat".

"Trick or Treat" was animated by Alex Kropinak, the animator behind Marvel.com's "What The...?!" Using a combination of stop-motion photography and computer graphics, Kropinak brought to life the actual action figures, sculpted by Gabriel Marquez, Rudy Garcia and Jean St. Jean. The film's cast includes the Mummy, the Wolfman, Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, Frankenstein's Monster, the Bride of Frankenstein, Dracula and the Metaluna Mutant.

Kropinak even included a cameo appearance by Diamond Select's first-ever  original concept action figure, Van Helsing. Designed by DST President Chuck Terceira and sculptor Jean St. Jean, the famous monster hunter received his own 7-inch scale figure this year, which was released at the same time as the newest Universal Monsters assortment. The film was co-written by Kropinak and DST Marketing Supervisor Zach Oat, who previously collaborated on ToyFare magazine's Twisted ToyFare Theatre.
