Headstones on their way
You may remember that a year ago we put out a call for you to get involved with the production of Orpheus & Eurydice, by helping to fund some puppet making materials. We are pleased to be able to say that we have started to dispatch headstones now that they have come down from the set, and the associated imdb credits have been submitted.
Intermission in Orpheus & Eurydice

Set building commences for Orpheus & Eurydice
The set for Orpheus & Euydice has taken a huge step forward as the animation platform has been constructed in front of the red screen that will be used for chromakeying.

Snark now available on tubi tv
Saranne Bensusan‘s stop-motion animation, The Hunting of the Snark, is now available to watch worldwide on tubi.tv. The film is based on Lewis Carroll’s final poem of the same name and features Joerg Stadler of Saving Private Ryan as the Bellman leading an unlikely group that have come together with the one goal on hunting a Snark, regardless of the fact that none of them know what it is.
Complete set of Hades Faces cast as molds from sculpts
Mold making work ongoing for the various mouth shapes of speaking characters
On Sunday, director Saranne Bensusan took one of Hades faces from the RTV mold that it had been used to create and from there started work on the next one.
Orpheus Head Moulds
Yesterday saw some the progression of the head carvings into two piece mould from which we will be able to make the heads for characters along with the interchangable faces to allow them to speak.
Chris started off by cleaning up any spillage that had reulted from pouring the backs of the heads so that we’t be able to get nice clean impressions of the front. This was then followed by Saranne pouring RTV for the front s to get impressions of the faces.
