King Kong

Description

King Kong is one my favorite films. I love it for its photography which at times evokes the etchings of Gustave Doré, for its stunning use of stop motion animation, and its classic beauty and the beast story. While Kong is essentially a giant silverback gorilla, I wanted to make him a little more than that. I was inspired by the Monkey King of Chinese lore, as Kong in my opinion is the king of the apes. I wanted him to look different than any known ape with more than his stature distinguishing him. I love the sadness of the character, while he's the "monster" of the film he is certainly not the villain. Here’s to King Kong one of the greatest movies ever put to film. If you haven’t seen it check it out and if it’s been a while give it another spin.
