And so we discuss Hitchcock (a little)

Most of the animations at the Super Shorts Festival are for adults but there are a few appropriate for children, such as The Stalking, directed by Andrew Johnson, which H.o.p. is crazy about because it is reminiscent of Wallace and Grommit. I tell him that it is a take-off on Alfred Hitchcock’s horror films. He has never seen a Hitchcock film and I tell him he won’t be able to see one for a while yet, but we discuss Hitchcock and he’s asking me about, “Does he use shadows like this?” and acting out the shadows and asking about camera angles and telling me how he thinks Alfred Hithcock would shoot something and asking me if that is how he would do it. Has made for an interesting conversation.

I’m putting this link to the animation on my blog so H.o.p. will have easy access, because he wants to watch it over and over. So forget your edification. This is just for H.o.p.
