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!
