A little background information...

Clockwork Jerk is quite an experimental series. Throw stuff at a wall and see what sticks, basically. I’ve tried a couple of wordy sketches and then I wanted to do something a little more… Camp. I thought the idea of a bunch of Zombies prancing about in the style of a Buzby Berkley musical would be fun to do and hopefully fun to watch. It was also quite different in tone to the other sketches which also appealed.
There’s not much depth to this piece at all. Just fun!

How was the film made?

Plasticine on glass on a homemade rig, the wonderful DragonFrame software and lots of exterior filming for quick and easy set building!
The music was also made by me, with the taps created by a drum beat set. All midi.
