Watership Down Flash Animation
« on: August 17, 2017, 05:08:37 PM »
So I've been into flash puppet making and animating for a few years now. I want to try animating scenes from the recent audio play that aired on bbc radio in 2016. So far I'm focused on building and animating Fiver at the moment. Doing the first scene where Fiver wakes Hazel in the burrow after having a nightmare. I'll post my progress here.



Have a pic of my workstation. No background so far.

This is a really cool project Pushmipullu!  I'll be looking forward to future updates.

This first image of Fiver is really nice :)

This is really great :D

Would it be all right to share this on FHC's Twitter account?

:silverweed3 That was actually awesome dear. :D *Tackle-hugs with supportive Nuzzles* I'm really looking forward to this one, dear. I wish you the best of luck, dear. :) Did you voice them by the way because if so, it's was hard to tell the difference from actual voice actors who did voice them.  :hannah2 Well done. dear.
