Alex Claymation Super Compilation #2

This is a short video of how the technical perimeters of the Hoth battle from The Empire Strikes back.  They used the standard 24 frames per second to get the illusion of smooth motion, used baking soda for the snow, and painted a realistic mural for the backdrop.  It's almost upsetting that today film makers use CGI effects entirely and disregard traditional yet effective methods.
