  • This 13 minute stop motion animation, directed by Ladislas Starevich, used posthumously animated dead insects as its main characters. It remains an iconic and powerful animation over a century later.

    People back in the day thought the animator actually trained bugs to move like this.
    I mean, it IS the closest thing to necromancy we'll ever get, I'll give em that.

    Its crazy to think people are able to do stop motion on dead insects!
    Coz as the insect dies, it gets more and more fragile as days gone by due to its insides drying.. example cockroaches, just a day after its death its legs can easily fall apart just by moving them!

      You can soften insects again after they’ve been dead a while with damp paper towels. I’m not a professional taxidermist but I’ve done some bug taxidermy and pinning for fun and they’re easy to move around again, though their legs and antennae are always going to be a little bit fragile because they’re so small.
