029 - Labyrinth Trio of Friends


Just watched Labyrinth for the first time. The conceptual design was great and Jim Henson is a man of genius.

It really makes you think about how much dedication and artistry went into movies in that time. There was heart and soul in these films... something that is really missing in those of today. With computers, we can create amazing scenes and unimaginable creatures... but there's really something to be said about what film makers were able to do back then. And not just the film heads, but all the artistry and craft of the people behind the scenes and behind the puppets. That shit is mind-boggling. I know CG work is hard and does take dedication, but come on. Three or more people all moving and coordinating just to make one character move? That's art.

Anyway, that's my rant on that. Now back to my chicken scratch!
