ltmurnauOK, a brief post to show you how brilliant my cousin Hall is.
There are people in one's life that you just hold in awe - they are creative, smart, happy and great to be around.
My cousin is one of these, for me.
Ever since he was a boy, he was fascinated with dinosaurs, and film, and motion.
He has made a career of animating dinosaurs and much of his business involves preparing exhibits for museums etc..
But his latest little film is a fun little short, a hat-tip to Melies and done to inspire kids to use simple illusory tricks to make their own films.
This is the sort of thing he would have made at age 10, if he had had the tech kids do today.
But that was over 40 years ago, and he had to make do with 8mm film shot one frame at a time ... like I and my friends did, but didn't stick with as he did.
Anyway, have a look!
