Member Bio
Hugo Docking & Henry Blackaller bring you stop motion animation to plague your dreams and haunt your nightmares. “Spare Flesh” is currently open to commissions.
Roll up, roll up! Take a seat. Allow us to abuse your eyes and pervert your minds with our grotesque cabaret for the wretched and debauched.
Laugh, as we send in the clowns and dance on the remains. Revel in macabre tales of the damned. Theatre, death and magic contort as one in this violent parade through the dark tunnels of your mind.
This is not the sweet, fuzzy animation studio you were looking for. Your heart will not be warmed, it will be boiled. There will be no happy endings. There is only flesh. And we have some to spare. Come, sit at our table, grab a plate – and let us tell you a story.
Key People
Hugo Docking
Hugo Docking is a stop motion filmmaker with a penchant for the mischievous and macabre. His award-winning 2022 short film, “Gagging for it” was well received at film festivals, screening at Stop Motion Montreal, Norwich film festival and BoneBat “Comedy of Horrors” in Seattle, amongst others. Hugo is the co-founder and director of “Spare Flesh” – a stop motion duo with Henry Blackaller. They specialise in making twisted and anarchic animated content using a blend of dark comedy, body horror and musical theatre. Inspired by the work of Jan Svankmajer and the Brothers Quay, Hugo enjoys experimenting with unusual materials and objects to produce animated visual effects, creating an aesthetic which is intriguing, playful and unsettling. These influences are apparent throughout Hugo’s work but have been refined in his film “To the Brink” – a violent cabaret of horrors for the cynical and depraved. Coming soon.
Henry Blackaller
Henry's expertise lie in both music and film. He's as confident behind a camera as he is in the music studio, where he can cook up anything his dark heart desires - from grand orchestral pieces, to synth-heavy ambient soundscapes, to devilled flesh on toast.
