I am very excited to share the very first ‘Thunk of the Day’.
This is the first in a series of very short animations featuring the thoughts, voices and artwork of young children in Nottingham animated by Sophie Johnson-Hill for Sojo Animation.
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 🙂
