Spielberg thinks animators are Ace!

I came across this clip on youtube- Animators always know exactly what they want.....don't they?

The OOglies are about to be unleashed..

About this time last year I was called by Nick Hopkin, a producer I had worked with before from the BBC on a cartoon series called PopSkool....and he said he had a great idea for a stop frame animation, in which all the characters were vegetables, fruit or small household objects, but wanted some advice on how he could make it.

Well, to cut a long story short, we got together a great team of artists and put them in a studio in Glasgow and 12 months later, OOglies is about to go on air...

You can read about OOglies in this weeks Broadcast



The picture above is of Bruce Husband working on a shot from OOglies and below is animator Sara Barbas. No she isn't in someones kitchen, that really is a set. She animated one of my favourite characters, 'Devious Blender'.....all will be revealed when the show get's aired next week!
