GRISTLE

15 October 2011

“It could be the end of the line for Jackie and Robert, two crotchety old men who have an enduring love of small talk, personal liberty and very good pies”. A great odd couple that could perfectly be the last few lines of a never-made animated film fro  Jack Lemmon & Walter Matthau’s famous characters.

A short film written by Jonathan auf der Heide, directed and animated by Tasmanian animator Jamie Clennett which was  made using a combination of traditional 2D and Stop Frame animation.

Another amazing example of the great work & effort put into this “replacement animation” technique which always includes a large and meticulous process of cataloging & piece numbering. As for Jamie’s next film…. well, he’s quite busy right now working for some of London & NY’s best musical companies (on the animation side of course), so I guess it won’t be very soon; but you can always enjoy his previous works he’s been recently uploading to his page.
