The Forest in the Cupboard!

The pupils at Tidcombe School did a great job making their animation with me recently, and here is the final result! Well done everyone who took part!

Aloha Buckfastleigh!

I had a fantastic time at Buckfastleigh Primary School earlier this month when I facilitated a one-day animation workshop for 39 Year 6 pupils. Everyone did great work and it was lovely to have the opportunity to work in my old primary school!

The project was loosely based on the film “Lilo and Stitch”, funded by the brilliant Helen Foundation and coordinated by Daisi – click  to go to their websites and see the great work they do in the arts in Devon.

Take a look below for the amazing final outcome – well done everyone!

 

Bristol Festival of Puppetry “Excitement at the Bottom of the Garden!”

I had a fantastic time working at Bristol Festival of Puppetry last weekend running the excellent “DIY Animation Workshops” at Watershed Cinema. So many thanks to everyone who came along, and my fantastic BFP helpers, not forgetting the awesome Rachel McNally who programmes and organises the whole festival (don’t know how she does it…)

Here is the edited and soundtracked version of the animation we made in the morning session – it’s amazing! All characters made and filmed in under 3 hours. Crikey! Hope you like it!
