Blog: COMING THIS SUMMER...

Last night I started making the TRAILER VIDEO for Dinosaur Planet. Most of the actual WORK involved building sets and PROPS, i.e.:

drawing a prehistoric landscape (featuring VOLCANO) on A3 paper in CRAYONS

drawing a modern London cityscape on A3 paper in CRAYONS

building a GIANT ROBOT out of LEGO

building a spaceship out of LEGO

When THAT gruelling workload was complete I moved on to the actual FILMING, which mostly involved:

shaking plastic dinosaurs at the camera, whilst giggling and going "GRAAARGH!"

simulating a car chase by zooming toy cars across a crayoned landscape

setting up FIGHTS between tiny plastic soldiers and waggled dinosaurs

zooming spaceships around while making spaceship noises

It's true what they say you know - SHOWBUSINESS is the toughest business in the world! Further TOIL will be going on over the next few evenings, and I shall be going ON AND ON AND ON about it when it's finished!
