Back in the 1980s, special effects maestro Phil Tippett created amazing stop-motion animation for movies like The Empire Strikes Back, Robocop and Dragonslayer. He switched over to CGI for 1993's Jurassic Park, but he did some of the film's pre-visualization work with old school stop-motion. He's posted one of these stop-motion sequences on his official Youtube page, and it's fascinating to see this famous scene accomplished with old-fashioned effects techniques. It doesn't have the absolute realism of the finished film's CGI, but it's quite effective in its own right.
Tippett's also posted a trailer for a new stop-motion project called Mad God, although he's cruelly disabled embedding. It looks absolutely stunning, I can't wait to learn more about it.
