In prep for making my final year film, I’ve spent the past year watching tons of stop motion short films. Thought I’d post daily to a thread highlighting some of my favourite’s. Trying to stay sane in these very trying times. Feel free to share & post yours too!
I’ll start off with one of my all time favourite films ‘Edmond’ by Nina Gantz. A beautiful woollen film about “Edmond& #39;s impulse to love and be close to others is strong... Maybe too strong.”
Made at @NFTSFilmTV @NFTSanimation
