This stop motion short was created as a Christmas e-card that got more and more elaborate as we went along. We had great fun making this one which was completed in about 2 weeks.
The Agent Cranberry model was made by Ian and Chris. The legs and neck and wattle is simply armature wire dipped in brushing latex. Her body is a plastic ball and her head is made from milliput.
The snow was made from a mix of washing soap powder and glitter. We repurposed logs of old sets and props from other projects. For example, we used balsa wood from The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe and some hay bales from My Motorbike.
The rocket was the CITV rocket that we re-purposed. It was repainted and had extra panelling added to make it appear as if it had been made from junk found around a farmyard.
