synopsis
In this dark fairy tale, emptiness is substituted for desire as Bunny gets closer to meeting her mysterious suitor.
short fact
Stalk was created using a hybrid of cut out pixilation, puppets and photographs which were stylized in a digital 3d context.

Atmospheric lighting and overlaying textures fuse these different mediums together to create a tactile yet darkly evocative environment.

The sounds design plays an integral role that enhances the films dark and melancholy atmosphere. A blend of sound effects and unconventional music composition dips in and out of loose melody to a more avant-garde flavour.

These polaric sound perspectives will snap from reality to a more abstract interpretation to create an unsettling and subjective soundtrack that is without dialogue or voiced narration.

    Hi - I really enjoyed this film too - it's definitely the best of the dozen or so that I've seen on the Network so far. The design and soundtrack were superb.

    The first film I've seen on here and I've got a feeling that it will be the one of the best! The film is amazing! So original, weird in a cool way and very well done! Exactly what I like. Roll on the next!
