The Moon Bird wins local award
Mon, Mar 8th 2010, 10:27
The Moon Bird has won the Best Made in the Midlands award at the Stoke Your Fires film festival. We are very chuffed to have won, but sadly couldn't be there to collect it. So far we've managed to avoid any of the festivals where we actually win.
In other good and bad news from the British Animation Awards, Codswallop was shortlisted for Best Short Film, but failed to make the final three. The finalists were rather randomly revealed on the Forbidden Planet website a few days ago.
Meet DI Plank and team
Thu, Mar 4th 2010, 11:30
“I remember when he was just a splinter.”
Sticks is a series of short slice-of-life detective comedies coming soon to BBC Comedy Extra.
Here's some of the characters you'll be meeting...
DETECTIVE INSPECTOR PLANK
Why can’t anyone do they’re job properly? That’s what Plank wants to know. He’s tough as teak and has a fiery temper that could start a forest fire. Plank is a classic bossy boots who is surrounded by incompetents, the clueless and the downright sneaky. Plank doesn’t trust anyone, possibly not even himself. Maybe it’s the years of fighting criminals or perhaps just in his grain, but Plank is more paranoid that a Coke addict in a hall of mirrors.
SERGEANT CONSTABLE
Always seeking the easy route out, Sergeant Constable is as cunning as he is lazy. The Sergeant is the kind of copper who can work things out astutely if he puts his mind to a case. He probably could have been Commissioner by now, but the truth is he’d rather put his feet up and tuck into a pasty.
CONSTABLE SERGEANT
Bless him, he’s as green as oak and thick as two short sticks. Constable wants to shine but somehow he always ends up as the stick in the mud.
CONSTABLE WITCH
Constable Witch isn’t a very good police officer and isn’t a very good witch either. Her police methods are rather unorthodox and often go badly wrong.
PRISONER
Always trying to escape, but somehow always ends up back in the clink.
MAVIS
The civilian desk assistant. Fancies herself as the new Agatha Christie with her stories of Miss Marble.
MONSIEUR MONSIEUR
The Zut Alors! Private Investigation agency is home to two outrageous Frenchies. Monsieur wants all the world to know he is both stylish and brave. One out of two’s not bad.
MONSIEUR DERRIERE
Derriere knows he is a genius of the investigative sciences. He has a certificate bought off the internet to prove it.
Watch out for more Sticks updates... we'll be telling you about the talented cast and crew for these eight short animations too.
