Requires windows media player or real player. Spring Heeled Jack, a tiny goblin with springs for legs spends his nights smelling the cold night air for the distinctive odour of a naughty child fast asleep in bed. As soon as he catches the scent he’s away, springing across the frozen city until he arrives outside the right window... He’s never seen, at least not by anyone who will ever be able to speak again as Jack’s night time assignment is to steal as many voices as he can to fill the rows and rows of empty jars in his secret cavern lair. The film was made as part of the U.K. Film Council's Digital Short Scheme. I had the idea for the film after a reading article about the urban myth of Spring Heeled Jack, I thought it was a cool concept, so I played with the idea and developed a kind of dark fairy tale around it... a kid's film but with an adult sensibility... the team around the film were all great from Haz Dullul who worked so hard getting everything rendered on time, the guys at Igloo Filmworks - who produced and AMAZING score for the film and of course Seamus O'Neill who gave a brilliant reading as the narrator... |
