#Bales2023FilmChallenge April 11: Ride a #submarine on #NationalSubmarineDav

Karel Zeman was a Czech film maker who seemingly magically combined live action with #StopMotion #animation. In his Vynález zkázy [A Deadly Invention] (1958), loosely based on #JulesVerne's Face au Drapeau, a professor is kidnapped by a fiendish count who wants to get his hands on a terrible super-weapon. Underwater pursuits commence! Based on the engravings that accompany the Verne story, Zeman came up with fantastic highly stylised in-camera effects that make the sets, actors and props resemble cross-hatched etchings.

That's more than enough words, here's the #trailer https://yewtu.be/watch?v=9ZLfe5xad4U
