Bygone Behemoth Trailer (2010)

Trailer for the stop-motion short Bygone Behemoth, which screened at SXSW 2010.

Bygone Behemoth tells the story of a washed-up movie monster reliving his halcyon days.

In an age where computer graphics are all too prevalent, the film is a nostalgic tribute to the work of Ray Harryhausen, Willis O’Brien, and numerous other forgotten wizards. Like the Behemoth itself, the film needs stop-motion to exist; It seeks to capture the ephemeral quality of a dying art form.
