The Eel
Dominic Hailstone UK, 2004, 6', SD videoAn effects maestro turned director delivers a masterful and perfectly pitched short. An eel thrashes around in its undersized tank. As its form rapidly outgrows its environment its angry mutation reaches monstrous proportions. Hailstone's eerie imagination runs riot in this organic horror short. The eel itself and effects are in fact physical models, but the look and feel has taken on the digital aesthetic reminiscent of work from half a decade ago.
