http://www.youtube.com/user/iconausThe Tale of the Fox (French: Le Roman de Renard, German: Reinecke Fuchs) was stop-motion animation pioneer Ladislas Starevich's first fully animated feature film. It is based on the tales of Renard the Fox. Although the animation was finished in Paris after an 18-month period (1929-1930), there were major problems with adding a soundtrack to the film. Finally, funding was given for a German soundtrack by the National Socialist regime (Goethe had written a classic version of the Renard legend) and this version had its premiere in Berlin in April 1937.Released eight months before Disney's Snow White, it is the world's sixth-ever animated feature film (and the second to use puppet animation, following The New Gulliver from the USSR).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tale_of_the_FoxLadislaw Starewicz - Cameraman's RevengeThe 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.info and video obtained from the amazing ubuweb: ubu.com.Ladislas Starevich: The Insects' Christmas (1911)Breve Storia del Cinema - Le origini del cinema d'animazione:http://www.brevestoriadelcinema.org/8-1.htmlA Father Christmas ornament climbs down from a decorated tree, and goes to the forest.

(Great Early Stop Motion Animation From 1933, By Ladislas Starewicz)Ladislas Starewicz (Владисла́в Алекса́ндрович Старе́вич or Władysław Starewicz) had become a master animator by 1933, incorporating techniques never used before and rarely since (such as moving the puppets during the actual exposure to create blurring for fast movement). His use of rear-screen projection is also surprisingly effective.But more important than these technical details is the great humor of his writing and his sensitivity to character. Each of the dozens of puppets in this film is imbued with a convincing personality; none more so than the title character, known as Fétiche in France and Duffy in England and the U.S. I think the scene of him hanging in a car's rear window is one of the funniest and most poignant scenes you'll find in any film. The character was so successful Starewicz starred him in four more films.We have CGI now, but all Starewicz had was an imagination that wouldn't take "no" for an answer. Whatever he wanted to see on the screen, he created. And he wanted to see some truly bizarre stuff - every imaginable piece of scrap is called up for service: old shoes, chicken bones, utensils, broken glasses, dolls, monkeys, rats...nothing was off limits.The Night Before Christmas 1913 - Ladislas StarewitchNoch pered Rozhdestvom (The Night Before Christmas) Created in 1913, this is a rare live action production from the legendary pioneer of stop motion animation, Ladislas Starewitch. Based on the short story by Nikolai Gogol.The similarities in body movement, facial acting and overall pacing and action between Starewitch's live performers and his animated puppets is striking.I have added a balalaika music using creative commons' licensed music called "Sketches with Mick" by Mick Whieldon and Matthew Lundy.I have also attempted to create English subtitles. I do not speak or read Russian but have hand translated the inter-titles and tried to approximate a sensical dialog from machine translation. Some of my guesses at the text may be far off but it should get the idea across.Ladislas Starevich: The Ant and the Grasshopper (1911)Breve Storia del Cinema - Le origini del cinema d'animazione:http://www.brevestoriadelcinema.org/8-1.htmlmusix track from the album Soul of Insect:http://www.jamendo.com/it/list/a116437/soul-of-insectby AufklarungLadislas Starevich - The Tale Of The Fox (1930)Vladislav Starevich (August 8, 1882 – February 26, 1965), was a Russian and French stop-motion animator notable as the author of the first puppet-animated film (i.e. The Beautiful Lukanida (1912)). He also used insects and other animals as protagonists of his films. His name can also be spelled Starevitch, Starewich and Starewitch.Władysław Starewicz was born in Moscow, Russia to Polish parents(father Aleksander Starewicz from Surviliškis near Kėdainiai and mother Antonina Legęcka from Kaunas, both from "neighbourhood nobility", in hiding after the failed Insurrection of 1863 against the Tsarist Russian domination), and had lived in Lithuania which at that time was a part of the Russian Empire. The boy was raised by his grandmother in Kaunas, then the capital of Kaunas Governorate. He attended Gymnasium in Dorpat (today Tartu, Estonia).Starewicz had interests in a number of different areas; by 1910 he was named Director of the Museum of Natural History in Kaunas, Lithuania. There he made four short live-action documentaries for the museum. For the fifth film, Starewicz wished to record the battle of two stag beetles, but was stymied by the fact that the nocturnal creatures inevitably die whenever the stage lighting was turned on. Inspired by a viewing of Les allumettes animées [Animated Matches] (1908) by Émile Cohl, Starewicz decided to re-create the fight through stop-motion animation: by replacing the beetles' legs with wire, attached with sealing wax to their thorax, he is able to create articulated insect puppets. The result was the short film Lucanus Cervus (1910), apparently the first animated puppet film and the natal hour of Russian animation.In 1911, Starewicz moved to Moscow and began work with the film company of Aleksandr Khanzhonkov. There he made two dozen films, most of them puppet animations using dead animals. Of these, The Beautiful Leukanida (premiere - 1912), first puppet film with a plot inspired in the story of Agamenon and Menelas, earned international acclaim (one British reviewer was tricked into thinking the stars were live trained insects), while The Grasshopper and the Ant (1911) got Starewicz decorated by the czar. But the best-known film of this period, was Mest' kinematograficheskogo operatora (Revenge of the Kinematograph Cameraman, aka The Cameraman's Revenge) (1912), a cynical work about infidelity and jealousy among the insects. Some of the films made for Khanzhonkov feature live-action/animation interaction. In some cases, the live action consisted of footage of Starewicz's daughter Irina. Particularly worthy of note is Starevich's 41-minute 1913 film The Night Before Christmas, an adaptation of the Nikolai Gogol story of the same name. The 1913 film Terrible Vengeance won the Gold Medal at an international festival in Milan in 1914, being just one of five films which won awards among 1005 contestants.----------------------------------------­----------------------------------------Metamorfosis - Jan Svankmajer, Ladislas Starevich & Quay BrothersBreve registro de la exposición "Metamorfosis - Visiones fantásticas de Starewitch, Švankmajer y los hermanos Quay" en el Centro de Cultura Contemporánea de Barcelona, grabado el cuatro de mayo del 2014.Ladislas Starevich: The Cameraman's Revenge (1912)Breve Storia del Cinema - Le origini del cinema d'animazione:http://www.brevestoriadelcinema.org/8-1.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladislas_StarevichThe Cameraman's Revenge (1912) Ladislas StarevichPara mais informações e filmes acesse o portal Cinema Livrehttp://cinemalivre.netA Vingança do Cameraman (1912) Ladislas Starevich - The Cameraman's RevengeUm marido abandonado vê a sua esposa e seu amante passarem a noite em um hotel, mas ele possui uma câmera e tem um plano para realizar sua vingança.The Mascot (part 2) - Ladislas Starewicz (The Devil's Ball - Puppet Love)Part 2 of "The Mascot."

First, he sends a Wooden King. The frogs realize the Wooden King doesn't do anything (he can just barely roll his eyes...), so they ask Jupiter for "a better King".Jupiter complies... he sends a Stork King. Storks, of course, eat frogs.Too late, the Frogs realize the error of their ways. They plead for help from Jupiter, while hiding underwater (This is a technically interesting scene... the frog puppets seem to be in an aquarium, but the bubbles flowing through the aquarium move in sync with their speech... it doesn't look like stop-motion, in other words. He may have used puppets on "rods" for this).Jupiter is now irritated beyond belief, and "Gives 'em Thunder" (actually lightning). These naughty frogs won't bother anyone ever again.________________________________________The frog puppets, and some of Starewicz' others, were recently on display in the Museum of the Moving Image in London and the NY MoMA They are also seen in the Starewicz films "Nose to the Wind" and "Winter Carousel".This film makes a brief appearance in the 1996 major motion picture "BASQUIAT".

It's an entertaining story, a social satire, but most of all a landmark in early animation. I find the stop-motion truly remarkable, even by Starewicz's standards. The facial expressions and the movements are very smooth and fluid.It had a good reception when it was first released, but as it was wartime people quickly forgot about it. They later exploited in under the form of shorts, since it contains many independent stories with one linking narrative.I'm sorry about the subtitles, as they are crap.

For the video I used part of an animation called Fétiche Mascotte (Duffy the Mascot)(1934), a story about a loving dog puppet who gets an orange to a dying girl. Director Ladislas Starevich (1882-1965) was a Polish, Russian and French stop-motion animator who used insects and animals as his protagonists.Devil in my Pocket - 1.6 To DieThe performance is my very loose interpretation of a very old gospel song. The singing is tinny even for me, but the guitar vibrato makes up for it. The video is taken from an incredibly strange 1934 film by Ladislas Starevich ("Fétiche Mascotte") chronicling the adventures of a dog puppet desperately trying to get an orange for a girl dying of scurvy. While doing this the dog puppet himself dies, yet he still tries to get the orange for her in Hell.It's about ten times as nihilistic as Disney's Toy Story and I think almost as good. If I'd done justice to the gospel song, it would have fit the movie perfectly.The Tale of the Fox - Wladyslaw Starewicz (1930) Part 2/6 (English subtitles)Note: I wrote 1930 because that's the date IMDb gives.

Старевич / Ladislas StarevichОписание: Экранизация одноимённой басни Жана де Лафонтена.Как-то раз сельчанин Крыс решил навестить своего городского приятеля. Однако быстро убедился, что не так уж хороша жизнь в большом городе, казавшаяся поначалу столь красивой и сытной. Особенно, когда просыпается хозяйский кот!Создатель мультфильма: русский режиссёр Владислав Александрович Старевич, изобретатель кукольной мультипликации!Ночь перед Рождеством / The Night Before Christmas (Владислав Старевич, 1913) (En subs)Film made in the Russian Empire by Ladislas Starevich, based on the tale of the same name by N. Gogol. Nikolai Gogol. Unlike most of Starevich's films, it is mainly live-action.По произведению Николая Гоголя "Вечера на хуторе близ Диканьки". Фильм снят с использованием анимации.По сюжету фильма, деревенский кузнец Вакула, влюблённый в красавицу Оксану, мечтает жениться на ней, но гордая девушка желает получить в подарок такие черевички, которые сама царица носит. Чтобы исполнить прихоть своей панночки, Вакула готов оседлать хоть чёрта, и вскоре ему предоставляется такая возможность. Чёрт доставляет его в Петербург и помогает попасть на великосветский приём…The action is set in a Cossack stanitsa. On Christmas Eve, a minor demon (Ivan Mozzhukhin) arrives to a local witch called Solokha. They both ride on the witch's broom, after which the demon steals the Moon and hides in an old rag. In the ensuing darkness, some inebriated Cossacks can't find their way to a shinok (tavern) and decide to go home. One by one, they each come to visit Soloha, who hides each one (starting from the demon) in bags so that none of them see each other.Noise Tales - DopamineDopamine was a 2008 written song, we re-recorded in 2012 to have a version which fits to the Folk/Blues sound we imposed on ourselves. For this we slowed down the earlier version a bit. This version was released on a sampler of the web label 1-bit-wonder. The footage was taken from "Duffy the Mascot", one of the first animated movies ever, written and directed by Polish, Russian and French animator Ladislas Starevich in 1934. It's about a diseased little girl which is saved by a dog puppet who practically goes through Hell to get an orange to her.

Following the October Revolution of 1917, he resettled in France –adopting the name Ladislas Starewitch (or Starevitch). Creator of the first puppet-animated film, he’s legendary for his use of insects and other animals as film protagonists and for his fantastic, inventive, techniques.Starewitch died in 1965 while working on “Comme chien et chat” (“Like Dog and Cat”). Since 1991, his granddaughter, Léona Béatrice, together with her husband, François Martin, has been restoring and bringing to the world his wonderfully artful films: http://starewitch.pagesperso-orange.fr“Sylvan Hour is truly a masterpiece” says pioneering culture blog Muruch. (http://www.muruch.com/2015/05/allisoncrowe-sylvanhour.html)Discover this music from a remarkable artist at a personal and creative crossroads in her life. “Sylvan Hour” is an album of songs bridging west and east, piano and guitar, then and now…For fans of Allison Crowe at her purest, this is voice, one accompanying instrument – one take. Real-time performances in the sequence they’re played and sung by Allison in a log-home on Salt Spring Island, BC, Canada.That afternoon the musician was in the midst of migrating from her birthplace of Nanaimo, BC, on Canada’s Pacific, to a new nest in Corner Brook, NL, on the Atlantic coast. Soon to fly east, Crowe bade farewell to those near and dear on western shores – including compatriot Kayla Schmah on Salt Spring, neighbouring Vancouver Island.Decades earlier Schmah’s parents had made an epic trek to the Pacific Northwest from Central Canada – in a repurposed donut truck. Planting themselves in the Gulf Islands archipelago, they lived at first in a converted parachute in the woods. From the ground up the home-steaders then built a family dwelling out of Douglas Fir – their “sylvan castle”.Allison and Kayla, as musicians had shared stages together from their teens onward (and, years later, becoming a film-scorer in Hollywood, Schmah brilliantly orchestrated and produced Crowe’s album “Spiral”.) Among the friends together on SSI this day was Ryan Adams (who, like Schmah was a recent graduate of Berklee College of Music and was en route to becoming an in-demand tv/film audio engineer in Los Angeles).With mics and a laptop set-up in the living-room, Adams captured this set of the newest songs in Allison’s repertoire – originals including “Skeletons and Spirits”, “Running”, and “Silence” as well as a trio of covers (interpreting songs famously by Joni Mitchell, The Lovin’ Spoonful and Aretha Franklin).Also gorgeous, but differently so, essentially group versions of most of these songs were released near the end of that same year (2006) on Allison Crowe’s album “This Little Bird” (the title track a celebration of her migration). “I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)” is the sole sylvan session recording released before – it’s presented now within the full hour of music for all time.Enjoy this most natural of talents – in this most natural of settings.Fleur De Fougere (1949) - PART 1-3Fleur De Fougere - Ladislaw Starewicz,(1949)The Tale of the Fox - Wladyslaw Starewicz (1930) Part 4/6 (English subtitles)Note: I wrote 1930 because that's the date IMDb gives.

The words are most of the time incomprehensible. After listening to each phrase about 10 times, I finally could make some sense out of some of them, but others were more mysterious. I ended up with this, and it's the best I can do for now. If you want to provide help, then by all means, do! There's one sentence I couldn't understand for the life of me, and it's repeated twice. I put (...) instead of trying to invent something. Forgive me.Anyway, I hope you enjoy it. I know The Mascot, or the original Fétiche (1934) is one of his most famous work, and I've wanted to see this one for quite a while.

The animals then play together on the ice and in the snow. Later, when the season changes, they look for new ways of passing the time. All creatures cavorting in the snow, skating, riding on tree branches, and sledding.Vladislav Starevich (1882 - 1965), born Władysław Starewicz (Владисла́в Алекса́ндрович Старе́вич), was a Polish stop-motion animator who used insects and animals as his protagonists. (His name can also be spelled Starevitch, Starewich and Starewitch.) He is also referred to by some as Ladislaw Starewicz. In this case, merely "L. Starewitch".Władysław Starewicz was born from Polish parents (father Aleksander Starewicz from Surviliškiai near Kėdainiai and mother Antonina Legęcka from Kaunas, both from "neighbourhood nobility", in hiding after the failed Insurrection of 1863 against the Tsarist domination), and had lived in Lithuania which at that time was a part of the Empire. The boy was raised by his grandmother in Kaunas, then a capital of Kovno Governorate. He attended Gymnasium in Dorpat (today Tartu, Estonia).Starewicz had interests in a number of different areas; by 1910 he was director of a museum of natural history in Kaunas. There he made four short live-action documentaries for the museum. For the fifth film, Starewicz wished to record the battle of two stag beetles, but was stymied by the fact that the nocturnal creatures inevitably went to sleep whenever the stage lighting was turned on. Inspired by a viewing of Les allumettes animées [Animated Matches] (1908) by Emile Cohl, Starewicz decided to re-create the fight through stop-motion animation: he removed the legs and mandibles from two beetle carcasses, then re-attached them with wax, creating articulated puppets. The result was the short film Lucanus Cervus (1910).In 1911, Starewicz moved to Moscow and began work with the film company of Aleksandr Khanzhonkov. There he made two dozen films, most of them puppet animations using dead animals. Of these, The Beautiful Leukanida (premiere - 1912), a fairy tale for beetles, earned international acclaim (one British reviewer was tricked into thinking the stars were live trained insects), while The Grasshopper and the Ant (1911) got Starewicz decorated by the czar. But the best-known film of this period, perhaps of his entire career, was Mest' kinematograficheskogo operatora (Revenge of the Kinematograph Cameraman, aka The Cameraman's Revenge) (1912), a cynical work about infidelity and jealousy among the insects. Some of the films made for Khanzhonkov feature live-action/animation interaction. In some cases, the live action consisted of footage of Starewicz's daughter Irina. Particularly worthy of note is Starevich's 41-minute 1913 film The Night Before Christmas, an adaptation of the Nikolai Gogol story of the same name. The 1913 film Terrible Vengeance won the Gold Medal at an international festival in Milan in 1914, being just one of five films which won awards among 1005 contestants.Wishing to remain independent, Starevich moved to Fontenay-sous-Bois and started on a series of puppet films that would last for the rest of his life. In these films he was assisted first by his wife France Starevich and later by his daughter Irina (who had changed her name to Irène). The first of these films was Les Grenouilles qui demandent un roi (The Frogs That Demand a King, aka Frogland [US]) (1922), probably the closest Starevich ever came to political commentary in his French films.FILMS URL ► http://www.XmasFLIX.comMUSIC URL ► http://www.XmasTRAX.comFACEBOOK ► http://facebook.com/XmasFLIXTWITTER ► http://twitter.com/XmasFLIXBLOG ► http://XmasFLIX.blogspot.comYOUTUBE ► http://youtube.com/XmasFLIXDo you believe in Santa Claus?

Produced in France by Pathé, it was originally called La voix du rossignol.IMDb summary: A fairy-tale-like telling of why the nightingale only sings at night. A young girl who has caught a nightingale dreams about the nightingale and its mate, and comes to realize that birds are not made to be captive but free. In return for its freedom, the nightingale loans the child its voice for use in the daytime, which is why nightingales only sing at night.IMDb link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0014584/Insects' Christmas (1913) "Rozhdestvo obitateley lesa"► http://XmasFLIX.com ► http://facebook.com/XmasFLIXPlease note that this stop-motion film is SILENT!Music ► http://XmasTRAX.com ► Mobile ► http://iXmas.mobiThe Insects' Christmas (1913) "Rozhdestvo obitateley lesa"(Wladyslaw Starewicz) Stop-Motion animation.This fascinating stop motion animated film was produced in 1913.

Of these, The Beautiful Leukanida (premiere - 1912), a fairy tale for beetles, earned international acclaim (one British reviewer was tricked into thinking the stars were live trained insects), while The Grasshopper and the Ant (1911) got Starewicz decorated by the czar. But the best-known film of this period, perhaps of his entire career, was Mest' kinematograficheskogo operatora (Revenge of the Kinematograph Cameraman, aka The Cameraman's Revenge) (1912), a cynical work about infidelity and jealousy among the insects. Some of the films made for Khanzhonkov feature live-action/animation interaction. In some cases, the live action consisted of footage of Starewicz's daughter Irina. Particularly worthy of note is Starevich's 41-minute 1913 film The Night Before Christmas, an adaptation of the Nikolai Gogol story of the same name. The 1913 film Terrible Vengeance won the Gold Medal at an international festival in Milan in
