Animation at Stocksbridge

The animation project that I am currently delivering at Stocksbridge Nursery and Infants School is going really well. The children have already developed some very sophisticated animation techniques and are eager to learn more. We have lots more animating to do but all the children are a real joy to work with and have lots of creative ideas to share.

The Spaghetti Tree

I have just begun delivering a very exciting animation project at Stocksbridge Nursery and Infants School in Sheffield where myself and a team of artists from Big Voice Media are supporting children produce a short animated film called " The Spaghetti Tree". The project is funded by First Light Movies and has been designed to give children leading roles in the production of their own film. Follow their progress on their blog, Stocksbridge Filmmakers to see their film unfold. Here are a few images of the children creating their storyboard.
