Cut & Paste Collaborative Animation - London's Hero

Last night saw the launch of London’s Hero, Cut & Paste’s latest collaborative project where each team was given a 5 hour live session to create their animated segment. The film was premiered at a packed HP HPZ space in Soho and featured work from some of London’s (and Paris’) top animation studios, Animade, Blackmeal, Fred & Eric, Golden Wolf, Mummu and Territory.

We have it on good authority that Cut & Paste are planning to do more events like it in the future, so keep your eyes peeled on their site for news.

The making of....

The challenge tested F&E's super-human animation abilities, giving each team just 5 hours to create a 10 second exquisite-corpse style animation. Our narrative steer was to take the viewer through the entire life of London’s very own new Superhero, with each team being allocated a separate life stage in a style of our choosing.

Fred & Eric turned to their trademark crafty side to create a handcrafted felt puppet (affectionately named Captain Inspecto…. for reasons that we still haven’t worked out) depicting the superhero’s teenage years. Well, we say we brought him to life, the lazy puppet spent his entire time sleeping…

We’re confident his power of turning back time would soon undo the world destruction that occurred during his teenage years though!

The final 1 minute animation was unveiled at Cut&Paste’s closing event on 16th October 2013. Click HERE to read more about this unique collaboration and see the action behind the scenes in the video and images below.
