I felt the need to draw Aggie and Caleb together.

I feel like these two would probably have a lot to talk about together.

It's been a while since I last posted (cuz motivation is hard), and even longer since I've drawn Norman, so uh, my way of drawing him has changed quite a bit since then :/

Anyways, I think I've always had this idea since I last watched the movie a few years ago, but I always thought it would be cool if Norman inherited some of Aggie's lighting powers since we already know the ghost sight is hereditary.

As for the outfit, there's a longer explanation, but the short one is just that I think it looks cool. I also gave him scars along his arms and face due to the use of the magic electricity, based on those pictures of actual lightning scars. And I also gave him freckles since in the art book one of the concept drawing of him has freckles, and I thought it was cute.

The kids aren’t alright- they’re stop motion.

Damn. This has been at the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens since September!

“LAIKA: Life in Stop Motion invites visitors of all ages to appreciate the painstaking work of stop-motion animation, with eight animation stations equipped with 2-D LAIKA character figures and environments that visitors can use to experiment with and create their own short films, then share and post online. The exhibit also includes puppets, sets, and video clips from all five of the studio’s renowned films.”

Fuck decent acting, MY favorite genre of nepo baby is “child of Some Rich Guy who funnels their daddy’s money into innovative creative projects that otherwise wouldn’t get made,” especially if those projects are animated

#no ethical billionaires but sometimes those billionaires have kids with good taste #kids who Grace us with skilled artists’ work rather than their own mid acting #nimona #annapurna pictures #laika #laika studios #coraline #paranorman

Norman and Oil Can enjoy (sort of) a horror movie together.

So, an idea for a crossover AU came into my head: What if while running away from her accusers in the woods, Aggie somehow fell through a temporary portal to the Boiling Isles? Eda did say every myth humans have is a bit of the Boiling Isles leaking into Earth, so I imagine that sometimes a temporary portal like the one we see in Thanks To Them exist all over the world. They are normally just not big enough or around long enough for a person to go, though.

Like most of the AUs I have come up with, I don't have this one entirely planned out.

I have a few ideas on how this AU could go:

Aggie runs into a widowed Evelyn and her child. (As much as I love the idea of Aggie meeting Caleb, Caleb is from the Connecticut witch trials, which happened from 1647 to 1663, and Aggie is from the Salem witch trials, which happened from 1692 to 1693, so Caleb would probably be already dead before Aggie was even born.)

Aggie runs into a runaway Golden Gaurd, who rebelled against Belos and is now on the run.

Aggie falls into a time pool and ends up during the epilogue of The Owl House and meets the main cast.

Or something else could happen.

This is all I got right now.

Hopefully, I will return to this AU idea one day. If I don't, sorry.

The Power of Stop-Motion

Media in today's standard is quick and easy. Rarely is a show more than 2 hours long or 13-epiodes per-season. With that, animated movies are a lot slower than the typical films.

There is a discussion on if animation is suitable for film purposes and while it is often shunned by the Golden Globes or the Oscars or other awards. The very few outliers can prove these awards and the world very wrong.

But that is not what we will be talking about today. Because while animation is popular, there is a dark horse among its sphere. One with a rich history and strong filmography that should be shared. Let's talk about;

- Have I possibly gone daffy? -

Stop-motion is a film making style that compiles multiple still images of an object being physically manipulated in small movements into one whole scene.

Majority of Stop-motion films and videos use [Clay Animation] or [Paper Animation] with several more varieties of new innovations emerging under the umbrella of stop-motion. The most popular of them in the modern era towards kids is [Lego animation] which is the manipulation of Lego models in motion.

The earliest trace of Stop-motion in films is the 1898 short [The Humpty Dumpty Circus] by Albert E. Smith and James Stuart Blackton which is said to be a lost media. To compensate, please watch [A Tribute to Stop Motion]

In its early concept, Stop-motion was used as a method to create impossible things or do practical effects under budget constrains. Such as the iconic King Kong scene at the Empire State building. Since then, Stop-motion has evolved into a full production industry. From Indies; [Righteous Robot] to Juggernauts; [Laika Studios]

- Shimmer a Little at The Edges -

Unconventional media such as stop-motion is often not a style suited for every story. Its a rather expensive type of media that requires worthy innovations top break the niche barrier. Just looking at Laika Studios alone, we see that they've develop a lot of interesting ways to improve visual effects while staying to their stop-motion roots.

One perfect example is seen in < Kubo and the Two Strings > where the animators need to create water in a still image world that feels natural. [A Perfect Storm] one other part of the stop-motion puzzle is the iron-willed discipline it to conceptualize, animate and edit a production that can take about 3 to 5 years to complete. More so of a time frame than a normal film.

This difficult curve lead to budgeted methods such as using models that already exist to tell new stories. Such as; Legos or with crude multi-jointed figures of existing characters. [MOONSHINE]

While I may say its crude, the low budget production is the selling point. Assisted with sound bites taken from gaming sessions or from shows featuring a lot of inside jokes and memes. Also, its hilarious to see a Teletubby turned into a Eldritch monster.

These attempts to make stop-motion productions accessible has captured the attention of other like-minded channels to collaborate and elevate one another. [ERB: Harry Potter vs Luke Skywalker]

- For Better Tomorrows -

With all that is said, what is the power of stop-motion? As a media that is tediously overlapping across processes. What are the better tomorrows for our inanimate subjects?

I like to think, that as filmmaking grows. Stop-motion will continue to remain as a sacred tug against live action films and traditional animation. It can be used to tell complicated stories with concepts that may look strange if its adapted in a live action.

As I have mentioned in [The Beautiful World of Hilda] animation's greatest strength is simplification. Stop-motion takes the opposite side of that philosophy.

Its a higher level of world building of the materials with willingness to accept mistakes and ruggedness that gives them that little flavor of life. As an actual touchable thing, the various cartoonish styles can take on a whole new dimension to heighten the style and give it that detail that is less polished.

Stop-motion shows that filmmaking magic can still exist despite already knowing the tricks. Its a media where every frame shown has a significant purpose that invokes a specific flow. That's the power of stop-motion.
