Chris is a stop motion animator that loves to watch movies.
 
 
 

I love watching and making movies. I have a big interest in stop motion and have created two claymations and numerous LEGO films as well as a live action short. I enjoy making films with dry humor, or B-Movie parodies.   I don't like teen and college movies or most horror, but I do enjoy comedy horror if it's well done (Shawn of the Dead, Grindhouse).  I end up watching a lot of foreign films, classics, studio indies, and animation.  I'm real picky about any anime I watch, but if you shift through all the trash you can find some really great films.

Movies I have made:
The Haiku Menace (Clay)
True Love Waits (LEGO)
Terror From The Future (Live action)
Trinket (Clay)
A Night at the Pier (LEGO)
Radioactive B-Movie (LEGO)
Quest for the Brickarian Crystals (LEGO)

Films I Love:
Ed Wood (1994)
Grave of the Fireflies (1988)
Brazil (1985)
Delicatessen (1991)
Dr. Strangelove (1964)
Requiem for a Dream  (2000)
The Iron Giant (1999)
Paprika (2006)
Les Triplettes de Belleville (2003)
Pan's Labyrinth (2006)
Amelie (2001)
Ratatouille (2007)
Magnolia (1999)
The Fountain (2006)

Hello, I know nothing of digital medium so can't really give much helpful comments.. I only know that your stuffs are amazing and me like a lot, especially "Temple of Lion", makes me want to go there! keep up the good work and good luck in the game industry (is it tough?) ^_^

:-) Chris ´SlothPaladin´ Boyer replies: "Thanks, I was always upset with the clouds in "Temple of the Lion" myself but I liked the the rest and even printed out a copy for myself which is rare, about the game industry, if I can get through my schooling without dropping out I sould manage to squize in, just hope I don't get stuck working on some sports title."

Hey man good stuff. Your the first digi-pen student i've ever met (well i guess i haven't really met you yet but you know) i am very interested in bryce and want to learn more about it. I'm 16 and i also want to make video games (tho i want to become a designer rather that a programmer/producer)
i was wondering if you knew of any good schools for study and initial access to the world of game desing?

:-) Chris ´SlothPaladin´ Boyer replies: "I know there are schools that do but I can't think of any good ones off had (I think that some of the Art Institutes have them but I could not tell you which ones off hand) If you are interested in in-game art Bryce is the wrong tool, it's just something I use for fun and has no useful aplication exept 'cool pictures' like you see there, just get something expencive like 3d Max or something, if you are interested in making games I would sugest at least trying programing, even if you will not be a lead programer or anything."

Arr - the movie RULES!!! it's totally funny as hell!!! To allot of people that flik might have looked cheap or unprofessional. But i know how hard it is to make a cartoon, even if you're doing it as fast as you can. Me and some buddies tried to make an anime by the book. We got some pretty good looking shots but it took so long.. we all just said, “f@#K it.. let’s play halo”.
I couldn’t stop laughing at the dumb pirate with the crazy arms. Also the credits were funny.

You and me should make a movie! I’ve done a couple my self and have become comfortable with the two worlds of audio and video. 3dsmax is getting easier for me to use and my computer gets stronger with each 100 bux I drop on it. But at August 10th I move to my new home where I cant use the internet any more…

I know people who say they like to make films but never have made anything longer than 2 seconds… or they say they have but it’s “I don’t have it anymore.”

“ideas” “are a dime a dozen. What's important is whether or not you can actually execute the idea in such a way as to make it consumable by the mass market.” –American McGee

:-) Chris ´SlothPaladin´ Boyer replies: "American McGee kicks so much ass, once I get a bit of free time my and the friend who helped me on that are going to try to make one a bit longer, I once made a stop motion LEGO movie with some other friend that what about 30min long, it's a bit cheesy but it hooked me on animated films, I would be interested in getting help but I have little time as of now. If you use MSN or AIM add me and maybe we can talk about it (or you could email me)"

Great perspective! I am still after all these years trying to get a handle on that. I think I am too impatient. Oh well, great artwork.

Congratulations for being chosen Artist of the Day!

Great gallery. I especailly like Temple of the Lion. It could easily be a book cover. it just may inspire me to write something.

:-) Chris ´SlothPaladin´ Boyer replies: "If you like any of my CG stuff that is not Tower to the Moon or Sanitarium you better save it to your hard drive, becouse once my new Ticket gets moderated thay are history. I'll be slowly replacing the CG with clay stuff in upcoming months."

Just stopping by and saying "Hello" to all other Elfwood stop-motionists. Looks great! Thanks for keeping the art alive, man!

:-) Chris ´SlothPaladin´ Boyer replies: "Thanks, I haven't posted in Elfwood for ages as I have not been doing any fantasy or Sci-Fi art lately. Truth be told I haven't really been working on any art lately, I've been working two jobs so I could afford a new editing setup for high definition video and when your working six to seven days a week projects end up on the back burner. After I get everything payed for (late February) I'll quit one of my jobs and have 4 days a week for animation, I'm looking forward to animating again."
