Production Notes

Dracenstein

Uploaded by: tompriestley

Director: Tom Priestley & Bill Flowers

Writer: Tom Priestley & Bill Flowers

Producer: Tom Priestley & Bill Flowers

Cast: Gary Bissland, Bill Flowers, Tom Priestley

Production Notes: Filmed mostly in real-time using our 2D cardboard puppetry technique, a couple of scenes were still shot single frame. We experimented in 'Dracenstein' to see if we could pull-off a comedic fight scene using the puppets. Nothing deep is intended in this particular film, its just popcorn entertainment. There's also a slight tie-in sequel reference to our previously uploaded live action film "Haven" at the beginning. Entirely handmade in Tasmania by www.offplanetfilms.com on a shoestring budget of under $50 (fuel, food, cardboard and the occasional aspirin.)

Brief Bio: (www.offplanetfilms.com) I make short experimental films in Tasmania, Australia, using mostly 2D puppetry & basic animation techniques. I'm the co-writer, editor, co-director & sound designer for "Off Planet Films". I also draw some characters & backgrounds, but my colleague in crime, Mr Bill Flowers, produces most of the drawings in... [more]
