A Spark of Being

Overview

What if Willis O'Brien made a stop-motion short subject based on Mary Shelly's novel Frankenstein? This animated short, shot on 8mm by Tom Triman, won an award and got mentioned in the final issue of Cinemagic Magazine in 1987 (issue 37). He was a writer for such magazines as Scary Monsters. He also made a stop-motion gangster drama inspired by those Warner Bros. gangster films called You Dirty Rat (1982).
