I was amazed to find out that the original series of John Ryan's
Captain Pugwash was broadcast live, with the movement being done directly in front of camera with the use of levers. I wanted to have a go at this method of animation and mistakenly set about it thinking that it wouldn't be too hard...Incidentally this took 6 tries to get right and also produced quite an extensive blooper reel.
Gross Man - Now with added 16mm film background! Try and spot the errors!

Thanks go to
Lucy for masterfully operating two of the levers.
Good to see my achievements in making a man hit himself in the face with his hand for 20 minutes are being recognised.
ReplyDeleteWell, I didn't want to take all of the credit.
