Comments on: Pete Peterson – Beetlemen Test Reel http://www.bluespill.com/?p=12 Rare and original examples of mechanical and optical special effects, stop-motion, and experimental animation Mon, 30 Aug 2010 10:01:02 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: albert Maly-Motta http://www.bluespill.com/?p=12&cpage=1#comment-321 albert Maly-Motta Sun, 02 Dec 2007 19:45:48 +0000 http://www.bluespill.com/?p=12#comment-321 What a great idea to dig out some of the unseen wonders of stopmotion animation. Everyone knows the work of Ray Harryhausen, but there are some unsung heroes in this field, especially poor Pete Peterson who had to fight multiple sclerosis and yet did some fantastic animation scenes. I also like the FLESH GORDON sequences, I remember driving way out to a suburban cinema that ran it as a late night show...30 years ago certainly. Perhaps you could find some scenes in better quality? Keep up the good work ! Albert What a great idea to dig out some of the unseen wonders of stopmotion animation.
