Food Fight

Food Fight is darkly fascinating, "an abridged history of American-centric warfare, from WWII to present day, told through the foods of the countries in conflict":



The creator answer some FAQs:
  • The food in this film was consumed either by myself or my dog after shooting. None of the cast went to waste.
  • The software used was photoshop and after effects.
  • The film took me 3 months to do.
  • Although it seems like stop motion, most of it was stop motion created within After effects, using keyframe animation. I am basically moving the food around within the the program, frame by frame, which is the same as traditional stop motion, only it's digital.
He also provides a breakdown of the battles portrayed and a cheat sheet of the foodstuffs used.
