How Stop Motion Animation Began

Stop-motion animation is such a familiar idea to us that young children try it at home. But you have to wonder about the pioneers that came up with the idea more than 100 years ago. After all, it was a serious investment in both time and money back then. Vox takes us back to the early 20th century, when Wladyslaw Starewicz had a hard time getting stag beetles to fight each other for an educational film.

A Headbangingly Good Death Metal Cover of Mister Rogers’ ‘Won’t You Be My Neighbor’

From Client Robinson:

Here is my metal version of “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” 🏠 from “Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood”. – Original composition written by Fred Rogers and piano played by Johnny Costa.

This is definitely a metal cover I didn’t see coming 😂, but I was so psyched when I saw the trailer for “It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood” starring Tom Hanks 👍 I’ve always had great admiration for Mr. Rogers and the musicianship of Johnny Costa behind the piano.
