Gargantuan achievement in animation! Acclaimed Director Dougal Wilson‘s orchestration of characters is nothing short of a symphony in stop motion. The fact that he originally studied astrophysics may be a factor. It also is always impressive when animators are able to maintain such a sense of warmth and spontaneity through such clearly arduous long hours of exacting and grueling effort. These things do matter in the final cut! This UK spot from Blink Productions for John Lewis insurance uses Dragonframe and the Arc Moco VOLO crane in the undertaking of this good stuff.

Anderson and his collaborator Ainslie Henderson are nearing completion of their next stop motion / live action mix, “Monkey Love Experiments.” Read on to hear what arduous travesties the director had to endure in production and to watch the making of the Making of Longbird. Simple as that!
