Peppa Pig
On February 17 Phil Davies, producer of Peppa Pig, was filmed at Exeter Phoenix by the BAFTA crew, in conversation with Helen Brunsdon. The film now appears on BAFTA's Guru sitewhere you can visit this fascinating insight to the creation and production of a successful children's series.
We hope to be screening BAFTA's programme of nominated shorts (animation) at Exeter Phoenix in September.

Forkbeard Fantasy present...
EvoluMental
In the beginning.... the Animator-in-Chief produces a hilarious sequence of sketches using the ancient building as a canvas.View video
Forkbeard, using the techniques they have made famous, blending hi-tech projection (sort of) seamlessly with hands-on pencilcraft, look at the folly of man's evolution
The projections, ran from 7 - 9pm on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of the Essential Weekend at Animated Exeter - and drew large appreciative crowds of around 4,000.
Thanks to Arts Council England, Exeter City Council, Exeter Cathedral, Richard Milner and his team - and of course, Forkbeard Fantasy themselves.
The University of Plymouth Digital Media and Animation students created a performance event responding to the projection, as a marketing exercise - a live stream of the projection on the High Street. Have a look at their documentation of the event.
