More animation at Stocksbridge

The animation project at Stocksbridge Nursery and Infants School is going really well. The children are fantastic and they are working really hard. Over the last few weeks we have been animating the farm scene and making machinery parts out of cardboard for the factory set. Here are some recent images from the project. More images and information can be found on the Stocksbridge Filmmakers Blog.

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.
