Music by jesu
Running time- 6 minutes
Pastel animation mixed with
16mm and super 8mm film
Stanlow is a warped mirror image of the original commissioned film Casey's Song. Following a day in the life of Casey with a twist. What began as a second parties interpretation of a city in colour song as a cry for help, with the main theme of alienation, ends with our thoughts on them. Opting to use jesu’s stanlow as a more realistic representation of Casey and our true reflection of this film. We adding an extra 2.5 minutes of footage from animation, still sketches from the initial concept and some documentary super 8mm taken during the live shoot. If Casey’s Song is an open window, then Stanlow is a door slammed in the face.
