"Oh dear....our first attempt at being disturbing! I think we pulled it off to a certain extent. We wanted to make the most evil animation we possibly could so we made an animated vision of hell. We set it to some dark ambient music by Nurse With Wound and made horrific sounds by recording screaming and moaning and then altering it to sound inhuman and downright scary. The result was this. Creshton Crayfields (Crust) was excited by our work so he hopped on board and helped us finish it."
~ David Firth on his claymation short "Hell".
David Firth is one of the most famous internet animators currently on the web. You may also know his series of shorts called Salad Fingers, which has gained a sort of cult following. In this video however, Firth uses claymation, a stop motion video which must have taken weeks upon weeks to film to perfection. The result is an unnerving sequence of scenes accompanied by shrieking music which to me sounds and looks exactly like how I imagine hell...if it were made out of clay.
