As I said befor, I didn’t enjoy this year’s BAF as much as last years, I do intent on attend next years. But first, to talk about the one Guest speaker I did enjoy, was Lee Hardcastle
Lee Hardcastle is a British Claymation Animator, he best known for his Claymation animations and their funny/dark sense humour and graphic violence; it’s safe to say his YouTube Channel is not for the faint of heart or for kids.
When you think of Claymation you think of Wallace and Gromit, and when you think of Gore Things like Happy Tree Friends comes to mind, but when you think of Gory Claymation (and if you know of him) only Lee Hardcastle, Lee sees his self as a director and scripted writer then an animater, however he is a one manned crow,, he makes his own models, animates them and when possible he will do the voice casting himself rather than relying on other people,
At BAF he showed us two pieces of his current work, the 1st being T is for Toilet, His collaboration with eh ABCs of death,..
and the other short he showed was his personal favourite “An Alien Claymation” its shows a fathers’ devotion to protecting his baby from visiting aliens that are trying to put said baby in the microwave, this short 2 minutes 40 second animation is full of blood, the green alien kinds’ Lee’s Favourite part of the short is the ending when the dad says to the wife “aliens tried putting the baby in the microwave”, to which the wife reply’s with a simple “again”. Does this kind of thing happen a lot Lee?
