These Matrix, Alien, and 2001 Claymation Scenes Are Perfection

Over the previous few weeks, you will have observed an uptick in io9 posts that includes brief claymation scenes recreating iconic moments from well-known sci-fi films. We shared Star Trek II and Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and now we’ve reached the grand finale. Not one, not two, however three all-time sci-fi classics: 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Matrix, and Alien.

These little slices of clay-recreated heaven come from artist Joseph Brett, who did them to commemorate the fifth anniversary of on-line sci-fi platform Dust. Each takes a memorable scene from an much more memorable film and recreates it in a medium it in all probability by no means ought to have been created in. And but, someway, they’re good. First up, we’ve obtained a clip that we expect would make even Stanley Kubrick chuckle.

With that one, it’s important to recognize that at the very least the monolith didn’t transfer. The apes do positive look actually nice although. Next up, get able to say “Whoa” because the One learns the way to dodge bullets.

For our cash, this is perhaps Brett’s finest one but. The digicam motion is insane, the background (did you discover the helicopter?) is layered, and although Neo definitely seems to be like he misplaced a number of kilos, the truth that the construction of his physique stayed collectively because it moved round is actually lovely and spectacular. And don’t neglect that jacket!

Those two clips are being solely revealed right here on io9. The one under got here out final week—but it surely was so gross and peculiar, and since that is the tip of the collection, we figured why the heck not? You will for positive keep in mind this second from Ridley Scott’s Alien.

So gross however so cute. And additionally form of humorous—which has principally been the purpose with all of those superior creations. If these shorts have gotten you within the temper for extra sci-fi, head over to Dust, which is jam-packed with unique tales of robots, area journey, aliens, know-how gone wild, future dystopias, apocalypses, and extra. Most of which aren’t in claymation.
