The Eagleman Stag

The Eagleman Stag is a BAFTA award winning short stop motion film by Mikey Please. It was suggested to me by Chris Paul Daniels from the Unravel film, who is a classmate of his. The film is a dark comedy about a man's obsession with the quickening perception of time that faces us as we age and his attempts to counter these effects. What i found most interesting were the dark tones achieved through filming in black and white that made the film stand out from the works of Svankmajer and the Quay brothers while still being inspired by them.
