Howdy bloggers, I haven’t made a post in a while. Thats because I have been working with Dan Richards who is a Professional Animator for Animate and Create, a company which made short stop motion movies made from Clay to produce real life animal characters.

It took a chunk out of our Work Experience but it was worth it. I would never get the opportunity to do something like this again. Plykshow

6 Students from our school met up with 7 students from St Edmunds School in Dover to produce a Creature Comfort style movie to be published on YouTube and made into a DVD. People around Dover who work with a company called D.E.S (I don’t have a clue what that stands for), were interviewed by Hayley who is one of the supervisors of this project. Our job was to make plasterscene models of Animals to make these voices come to life in a funny way.

Characters included a Bear (Which I made), StarFish, Fish with Chips, Slugs, Birds on a Elephant, Snails, Flies, Grey Hounds, Ants, Chickens, Owl and Bat, and more.

Dan Richards also started up a series of episodes on how to make a animated movie. Go to www.animateandcreate.com to see more, or visit their YouTube channel www.youtube.com/animateandcreate
