Viewing Log: The Sandman


Director: Paul Berry
Animation: Colin Barry (puppets and sets)
Process: Stop-motion; puppet-animation
  • Based on folklore novella, The Sandman by E.T.A Hoffman
  • Inspired by German Expressionism

Why I'm inspired:
  • I'm mainly inspired by the use of editing. For instance the use of fast paced match on action to create suspense. 
  • No dialogue, instead instrumental sounds are used. For example the sound of chimes are used when the boy tip toes.

  • Creative use of camera angles
  • Lighting and shadows (inspired by Nosferatu)
