Indiana Jones Goes Stop-Motion

Stop-motion animator Jeff Gurwood has recreated the iconic opening sequence from Raiders of the Lost Ark for the 30th anniversary of Indiana Jones.

Clocking in at six and a half minutes, this loving tribute to Indy is a perfect, shot-for-shot remake of the scene starring Harrison Ford and Alfred Molina. Apparently, he used art store supplies to craft the sets and props, and Hasbro action figures (G.I. Joe, perhaps?) for the characters.
