It's Mike Brent Day!!


Ladies and Gentlemen, we pause from all the wall building excitement to bring you...

A day of TRIBUTE for one of the world's greatest people, a man who gives to each of us day after day, shares his expertise with us, offers his formidable support and encouragement for all of us here budding stop motion puppet film enthusiasts.

He is a cut above the rest, a true artist. An original, whose work will always inspire and take us all along with him to the next level with our art.

He is a deep thinker, a natural intellectual. A filmmaker with a keen sense of film's artistic, poetic potential, fond of using hot shot movement style and symbolic images to express his mystical ideas, emotions, and meaningful states of mind.

Happy Birthday, Dark Strider, we celebrate you!

    Hello Mike, Happy Birthday. I can't thank you enough for all you have done for Shelley. She was truly lost until she found your site, your advice, your caring, your giving. What a difference you have made in her life. And now she has a Halfland activated, a blog and the tremendous support of the Magnificent Seven. And it all started with you being willing to reach out to her. So I truly honor you this day. PK

  8. Wow, thank you Paul! I never really looked at it in quite that perspective. It's been a two way street of course (well, 7 way now). Shelley has provided me with loads of inspiration and support along the way as well.

    Normally I don't make a big deal about my birthday, but I'm glad I let it out this time. You people are making it really special.
