Harryhausen's incredible stop-motion animation and special effects set the bar so high, I don't think his work has been bested. Sure, we now have massive computer rendering farms and texture mapping so detailed you can see pores on blue skin. However, there is something special about watching real objects in motion that pixels on a screen have yet to capture.
I had the honor of witnessing some super hidden pieces by Gronk (one of the founders of Chicano art collective ASCO) today. Super chill dude and really inspiring work... Word!
So this kid made a cardboard arcade in his Dad's shop right there by Mission and Cesar Chavez (home to the infamous Glass, Glass wall we paint from time to time.) The kid had no customers until a filmmaker dude rolled up. This short film explains what happened next. Inspirational and fun for err'one (the film AND the arcade.)
