Last week I was the runner on the shoot of a Johnny Kelly stop frame animationl, produced by Nexus Productions. I can't say or show much of the shoot, but here's a few behind the scenes pics that I won't get in trouble for!
I helped the production designers to make little gadgets to aid some of the tricks in the animation.
I discovered this, the 'magnetron'! The coolest gadget ever - basically a magnetic broom!
The shoot took place at Clapham Road Studios, this is where most commercials are shot. There were loads of remnants from past shoots lying around the place.
I learnt lots of neat little tricks - like lifting floor boards to install motors to make things move like magic!
I also learnt of Dragon Stop Motion, for any animators out there - this software is the way forward!
I had a brilliant week, everyone was so warm and friendly, it was like working with one big family! We had breakfast, lunch and dinner together everyday, round a massive table, watching videos on youtube! I laughed loads and ate loads! They made me feel like a really valued member of the team! The director definitely offered me more cups of tea then I offered him! I definitely want to work with them again!
