A little while ago The Spark Arts asked if I would create an animation to promote ‘Word Wednesday’ sessions in Leicester Libraries. This meant I had the chance to listen to loads of fabulous stories written by children in Leicester and then pick one to animate. Obviously I was delighted with such a project and will happily share it with you all.
Take a peek at Joseph’s story. Clever fella 🙂
The third ‘Thunk’ in a series of short animations celebrating the imaginations, artwork and voices of young children in Nottingham.
This ‘Thunk’ features the artwork and voice of a particularly brilliant 6 year old girl.
Little girl character, created by a 4 year old.
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 🙂
