The Curse of Dracular - TRAILERE

This is a trailer for my most recent project, a claymation short film called The Curse of Dracular.

I made this film independently for my final year at Norwich University of the Arts, based on a story my Dad wrote when he was a child. He discovered it a few years ago after finding a collection of his old schoolwork that my Grandmother had kept over the years. Upon reading the story, it became clear that it was heavily inspired by the classic Hammer Horror films he would catch late at night as a child. We both found his story hilarious, and I thought it would be the perfect basis for an animated short film and my final major project at University.

The Curse of Dracular has since won two awards from the RTS East Student Television Awards, Undergraduate Craft Skills: Production Design at the Student Television Awards 2024, and was awarded Best Stop Motion (sponsored by Aardman) at Animation Dingle. It has also been screened at Manchester Film Festival amongst others.

All of the animation, puppets, props and sets were made by myself. It’s a big step up in technicality for me so I’m very excited to see what people make of it. The film is being shown at one more festival this year - Portland Festival of Cinema, Animation & Technology (PFCAT), so I’ll be able to make the film public before the end of the year.
