ANASTASIA PAPADOPOULOU

A stop motion creator from Greece, living the last 2 years in the UK, creative, hard working and with an eye for detail. My first personal short film “Elevator Alone”, has received 32 awards and has been selected in 150 festivals. It’s a graduation stop motion film which I wrote, directed, animated and constructed the sets and puppets.

The last years I am working on various projects such as adverts, short movies and music videos as a prop maker/set dresser and puppet maker.

What I love the most, is to find and add the small details in props that pop and bring sets to life!!

Four people and the time they spend in an elevator. Inspired by everyday life and by the difference in people’s behavior when they are alone, in contrast to the socially acceptable behavior that individuals adopt when in public space and especially in the confined and always awkward setting of an elevator.
