I have the great pleasure of showing some fantastic work that came from a collaboration of studios…. Jim Davidson’s FANTAMATION STUDIO and Joe Schultz’s SCHULTZ STUDIO! Check these fantastic videos out!

A collaboration by Filmmakers/Visual Effects Artists: Joe Schultz and Jim Davidson to create new stop motion footage and edit it into the “The Empire Strikes Back,” fleshing out the “Wampa Attack” sequence and matching traditional stop motion animation techniques and esthetics used by ILM in the late 1970’s, while taking advantage of digital technology available today.
