Woah, this looks awesome, I'm gonna watch it later tonight when it's dark out.
Junk Head is a 2021 Japanese stop motion animated science fiction film written and directed by Takehide Hori, based on his 2013 short film Junk Head 1.[a][3][5][6] The film comprises some 140,000 stop-motion shots, and runs for 101 minutes.[5] The story is set in a distant future world where humans have received longevity but lost their fertility, and are nearly extinct by population decline. ...
Not only the direction and scenario writing but almost all work, including voices, sculpting puppets, lighting, camera operating, editing, composing music, were, in the beginning, done by Hori alone.[5][7][6] At first, he assumed like most people that "films are not a one-man project".[4] Then, hearing that Makoto Shinkai made his first film, Voices of a Distant Star, by himself, and, inspired by Shinkai's story, he decided to try to make a film and ventured into the world of film-making at almost forty years old.[4] However, Hori had neither knowledge nor experience in film-making, and was entirely self-taught.[3] It took Hori four years to make a short version of the film for a preview.[3] He made a long version for theatrical release with a small team.[3] It took around seven years to complete the final product.[5][8] The short version was released at 2013, and the long version was released at 2017.[4]
Yah, thanks, diablo. Great share!
