Dec 11: Damp Spirits (Mr. Kaplin)
From Mr. Kaplin, the creative partnership of Robert Glassford and Daniel Zucco. The pair of creatives moved to London just over a year ago and have found it a good place to be animators. This simple piece reminds us that a small, kind gueesture can make a world of difference to someone nearby.
All tips from the video are going to Shelter’s Christmas Emergency Appeal, which is rather a nice thought and I hope might convince you to throw some virtual change their way.
Rob & Dan answer a few Christmassy questions for you:
Interesting moment, fact or point of inspiration from your production:
When we were creating walk cycles for the characters, we made the decision to make the small character hop to differentiate him from the larger character. When we played it back it was a really nice moment.
Most memorable Christmas moment:
One Christmas I received a electronic race track set, my uncle told me if I put oil on the tracks the cars would slide around… The race car set never worked again
At the top of the Christmas list:
Dvd Box set of “The Wire”.
#AdventAnimation is a daily showcase of holiday themed animation. If you are working on something with a touch of holiday cheer that will be released sometime between 1 December and Christmas Eve, drop me a note and I will put it into consideration.
