I mean, I'm sitting here thinking about how many hours I've spent watching this guy's stuff and... I mean, all the images.. hm. It's hard to even talk about. It's just amazing. The idea of a guy painting or manipulating frames on a film is not too mindblowing, but the actual execution is just insane. 24 frames per second? (he often had his films shown at 18 frames per second, but bear with me here).. As complex as these frames are, to think that he probably spent many minutes (maybe an hour?) on a single frame (I realize that some frames are just random paint splotches and scratches, but a lot of them are truly complex too), multiple that by 24 or so, then consider most of his movies are a few minutes long. I'd really suggest watching his stuff at slower speeds, if you get a chance, to truly appreciate all the detail and artistry.
