Early Birds 2008

Suky Best

Film and Video Umbrella recommends 'Early Birds' - a hand-drawn rotoscoped animation from wildlife footage, showing garden birds in silhouette against flat colour backgrounds that subtly change, signifying the coming of the dawn.

Early Birds

Featuring interviews with people talking of their memories and experiences of the dawn chorus contrasted with their experince of it today. The soundtrack also features birdsong from common UK garden birds. The film is intended to make us look anew at a daily occurrence and the wild animals we encounter on a daily basis.

The film will be shown as part of AnimateTV on Channel 4 on Sunday 21 September 2008 at 11.55pm.

The film can also be watched on

www.4mations.tv from September 15 2008

Suky Best was commissioned by Film and Video Umbrella in 2005 to produce the project 'The Return of the Native' and it's accompanying publication.
