While exploring YouTube I found a video clip which really interested me. It is a clip from a film called 'The Adventures of Mark Twain' and is a claymation based on some of his stories. Although I am not particually interested in the creation of claymation/stopanimation, narrativly and visually this video is very inspiring.
I am very interested in surreal, religious/mythalogical, fantasy worlds and narratives. The 'Satan' character is depicted very well in a scary, surreal way which I love, especially how his expressions and the texture/shape of his head changes throughout the scene.
Looking further into the story I found this part of the film is based on one of Mark Twain's story, 'The Mysterious Stranger', which is available to read online here
The video is here (if it doesn't work then search for 'The Adventures of Mark Twain Claymation' on You Tube.
There are a couple of other videos from this film I came across on YouTube, an Adam and Eve story (in three parts) which is a quite humorous, alternative take on the Adam and Eve story.
And then lastly is a video about someone going up to heaven, but it being the wrong heaven.
I am trying now to get hold of the full version of this film as what I have seen from this seems amazing and very inspiring. Visualisations of Heaven, The Devil, and retelling of historical or biblical stories as is done here, in a humorous and eerie way are something I would like to encorporate with any work I do into narrative.
Other stuff:
I am currently working on a website to put all the stuff I create on to, but this has not yet been completed! but will be shortly, hopefully!
