The Cameraman's Revenge (1912, 13 minutes) is about infidelity among the insects, a topic which I dare say has never before or after been attempted on film.

Russian animation from Wladyslaw Starewicz, 1913.
The title is a bit misleading as the Russian word c???????/strekoza means dragonfly yet the story is clearly about a grasshopper, which in Russian is ????e???/kuznechik. Nevertheless it is interesting animation from almost a century ago.

Black and white stop motion animation shot on 16mm film. I made this in college for an animation class. The soundtrack is something I created for an electronic music class. Inspired by early experimental films of David Lynch, plus the works of classic animators like Jan Svankmeijer and Wladyslaw Starewicz.

The greatest laughter in film history - in my opinion. ;-)
A funny little excerpt from "The Mascot" by Ladislaw Starewicz from 1933.
(Actually I was looking for a nice profile picture *s* - guess I got one...^^)
