The Eagleman Stag

The Eagleman Stag - Mikey Please

If you’re a fan of short film and you’re yet to see Mikey Please’s 2011 BAFTA award winning animation The Eagleman Stag, then you’re probably in for one of the most enjoyable 9 minutes you’re likely to have sat in front of your computer screen. Astonishingly created “100% in-camera” via stop-motion Please’s, striking visuals are equally matched by the filmmaker’s ambitious epic narrative.
