Homemade Superman, 1981
Thursday, January 21, 2010 at 10:31PM I was 11 when I saw Superman II in 1981.
Soon after I started drawing scenes and cutting out figures from construction paper to try and recreate the experience for myself. This is the animated film interpretation I made a few weeks later, with the help of my uncle, my sister and his Super8 camera. I'm so glad it still exists. There were quite a few other animated films we made that are now lost.

That was amazing!
I especially love the part where Superman is suddenly in space. Very clever animation tricks!
That was awesome! I love the special effects and the flying bad guys were great. I am the mother of two creative boys who do projects like this and now I want to make sure I keep samples of their projects for the future.
