Stop-Motion Rarities: “A Sound of Thunder” (1970) by William Stromberg and Phil Tippett.

 

From Matthew B. Lamont's YouTube channel, here's a rare peek at a 1970 amateur short film adaptation of Ray Bradbury's famous short story "A Sound of Thunder."  From what I have heard, this was shown at a couple of science fiction conventions. Mr. Bradbury himself watched it and congratulated the filmmakers. But he also asked them NOT to show it since they did not have the rights to the story. Phil Tippett,who would go on to do Star Wars later in the decade, created the stop-motion effects.
