Summary of the Article About Cardiff Animation Festival’s Spooky Release, ‘Stopmotion’

– The esteemed Cardiff Animation Festival is introducing Robert Morgan’s creepy debut feature film, ‘Stopmotion.’

– Ella’s slide into sanity-loss begins as she works on a film that turns into a sanity warzone.
– The event also includes an exclusive Q+A session with Robert Morgan, the director of ‘Stopmotion.’

A Comically Chilling Hot Take

Now, I love a good horror story, especially if it’s brought to life through squirm-inducing stop-motion animation. Ella Blake isn’t just dipping her toes into the pool of insanity; she’s diving in headfirst, doing synchronized laps with her demons. Nothing screams ‘creatively disturbing’ quite like channeling your inner Freddy Krueger while masterminding a stop-motion film.

Q+A with the Animator? Yes, please!

And they say animators don’t get enough recognition! Pssh, tell that to Robert Morgan. The guy has a Q+A session to himself. I bet he will be answering questions like, “How did you avoid going mad while making a film about going mad?” or “Did you lose any plasticine actors to ‘creative differences’?”. Looking forward to hearing some behind-the-scenes tales from the one-man circus himself!

All said and done, ‘Stopmotion’ promises to offer a refreshingly frightful experience that I, for one, can’t wait to be terrified by! So, grab your popcorn and blinker – things are about to get animatedly spooky!
