When viewing Howard Sooley’s Prospect Cottage for the most recent Kick About I was instantly drawn to the opening images of the lighthouse and the water, the way those clips moved – like old pixelation animation. I wanted to create a moving story revolving around the landscape of Dungeness and all its quirky unique characteristics, I also just really wanted to make something with my hands. I have fashioned a shadow puppet theatre out of old cardboard, a large picture less frame and some grease proof paper so that I can bring to life cuttings of the characters and all the little things that make Dungeness so intriguing. While I don’t have the film to show just yet, I do have the storyboard.

Very much looking forward to seeing this film completed, Graeme 😀

Cheers Phil! I just cant wait to actually start filming it! I only have two hands so it will be tricky and I have to be scrappy about it but I have a few tricks up my sleeve…

Thank you Kerfe! shadow puppet animation is probably the oldest form of animation but with all its striking silhouettes I think it is still so powerful and proving enjoyable to give a bash at! 🙂
