Butterflies
Butterflies is the result of a series of film-making sessions with 5 enthusiastic students from Barnsley College. The project was initiated by Jemma Conway at Barnsley Museums, with funding from The People's Record and led by Fabric Lenny The film was shot on location in Barnsley Town Centre and at Cannon Hall and incorporates time-lapse footage with a commissioned soundtrack, talking head footage and a script developed with Dan Mallaghan. Additional support came from Yvonne Roberts on sound.
The Spaghetti Tree
We have just finished a very exciting project at Stocksbridge Nursery Infant School in Sheffield. Throughout the project we worked with 20 children, aged between six and seven years, to help them turn their story ideas into an animated film. The project involved story development, story boarding, drawing, painting, making models, props and sets, animation, sound recording, music and photography. The children were fantastic and created some wonderful characters. Everything in this film was made out of cardboard and as well as animating the models, we moved the camera 5mm each take to create a visually rich moving camera effect. This film project was funded by First Light Movies. Visit the Stocksbridge Filmmakers Blog to find out more detail about each stage of the project.
