Now this is an..interesting one

Luis Cook - "The Pearce Sisters"


Story by: Mick Jackson
Adapted by: Luis Cook
Animators: Adam Cookes / Nigel Davies / Eve coy / Theresa Whatley / Emma Greenwood / Les Orton / Marten Jonmark / Dan Lane

This animation from Aardman Studios is very different to the usual works we see produced by them. Luis Cook wanted to go down a different route and stay away from the usual Stop-Motion and Claymation techniques. The process behind this animation was seen as quite experimental, the characters were created digitally with out their main features, and then every frame was printed off and worked into by hand and then scanned back in. The purpose behind this animation was to create something a bit more out of the box and unique. It has a mix of comedy and some parts which are quite gruesome, the audience is very broad because of this. It could be watched by people of all ages but would be appreciated in different ways. The use of "Staging" really works too, for example certain shot angles draw the audiences attention to certain things such as the close up of the hands at the start which allows the audience to see straight away how discussing they look, immediately giving an impression of the character.
