Why hello there “Charlie and the Cotton Wool Coat” promo video.
Good work to all of my buddies in The Independent Scrutineers, we did alright hey?!
Thanks Ian Dearman Media for your work on this video.
From 2D Charlie to 3D puppet Charlie.
So here’s charlie as a 2D line drawing…
Lovely, isn’t he?
Well I’ve been busy working on a lovely 3D puppet version of Charlie and all though he’s not quite finished I’m a little too excited, not to share…
Still missing a few bits and bobs, but he’s pretty lovely too, isn’t he?!
I had to let my 5 year old give him a quick check (Grandma stepped in as puppeteer here).
“He’s a lovely little fella.” Her words, not mine.
I will be sharing a link following the whole making process soon, for anyone who’s interested in such matters 🙂
Charlie meets some amazing characters, created by children
Video
Here it is! Charlie’s journey, packed with all of the fantastic characters that you created during the Sojo Workshop @ Nottingham Children’s Book Festival.
I will be announcing which character has been chosen to appear in the January 2014 production of ‘Charlie and the Cotton Wool Coat’, in a few weeks time. Goodness knows how they’ll ever decide!
Today is the day your characters come alive! Not long now!
Good morning everyone! It’s just past midnight as I type these words which means…today is the day that your brilliant characters will come alive.
Please check back at 6pm, before you go to bed, for a rather special bedtime story (made by you).
Here are some photos of a few more awesome characters 🙂
Sojo Animation ‘Character development’ workshop @ Nottingham Children’s Book Festival
On Saturday I had the pleasure of running a Sojo character development workshop for the Nottingham Children’s Book Festival ‘Tales from the Riverbank’.
I am now a very busy lady, animating all the amazing, new characters I have been introduced to, but I couldn’t resist putting up a few stills from the workshop.
Here the children are drawing, onto acetate, the character that they imagined ‘Charlie’ met (or perhaps didn’t meet) in the woods.
A quick chat about something brilliant.
The time I met a little girl bear, and her lovely creator.
Three puppeteers prepare for their show. You’ll have to wait to see the actual show though 🙂
Join me on my Sojo facebook page, why not?

A Sojo Animation for Bongo Bongo
Here is an animation I created for Bongo Bongo (the best little company in the world…I’m not bias) to promote the most awesome nursery rhyme album ever, ‘Incy Wincy BOOM Box’.
Rob Green is amazing. I’m sure you’d agree.
