Postman’s Familiar stop-motion animation came from collaboration with Serafina Steer. After a commission from PRS and Branchage Film Festival. The premiere performance took place in Jersey as a key headline event of the Branchage Festival, at Ebenezer Church in rural Trinity, and was followed by a performance at the Hackney Picture House, London on Friday the 13th of January 2012.
It was made using puppet animation (using a Canon 500D, captured using Dragonframe and with a dash of After Effects for good measure) and unlike some of our other projects the music and the animation was started at the same time.
It has since been re-edited and had a new version of the sound track added, which was partly from a live recording taken during its re-premiere as part of the London Short Film Festival event at the Horniman Museum.
The post Postman’s Familiar (2011) appeared first on Sam Steer.
