Dioscuri Part II

Rating:A
These are some friends of mine and they are insanely talented. They make these elaborate stop-motion animations that involve wood carving each frame, and fire and models and mixed media. It takes them years to get 10 or 15 minutes of material, and then they project it in a theater and play the film-score to it live, on lots of instruments including harps and samplers and bass guitars. One of the most incredible shows I have ever seen. However, they made the decision to not put any of it on the internet aside from this short clip that doesn't do it a fair degree of justice. I understand the argument to keep the live show 'special' but I respectfully disagree with the philosophy. Here is the gorgeous snippet.
