How long missing link

The wildly intricate setup, so detailed that you can see the unique threads that snapped to bear Mr. Seen in rapid succession, the shots look like natural, fluid movement — like actual pants ripping at the back seam. But there are actually 24 frames in each second of footage, and 60 seconds in each of the 94 minutes of Missing Link.

You do the math. The meticulous, labor-intensive process of stop-motion is something of an anomaly in these days of computer-generated animation. But the people at Laika, a stop-motion animation studio near Portland, Oregon, like it that way.

Kids come out of a film still having no idea how we did it. Movie magic! Its creators are understandably pushing it as more mainstream than the work that came before it. More accessible. When I talk to people there, it seems the isolation is less a conscious decision and more a product of how things worked out.

The remains of an hominid, may be one of the most significant palaeoanthropological discoveries in recent times, are unveiled on April 8, during a press conference in Maropeng. Two skeletons of a new hominid species dating back two million years and found in South Africa have shed light on a previously unknown stage in human evolution, scientists said today.
