Love Monster
Back in Spring 2019, I worked with the team at Karrot Animation storyboarding this co-production with Bristol’s A Productions, and China’s UYoung Media, for Boat Rocker and BBC Children! Directed at Karrot by Rufus Blacklock, the 54X7 series began its broadcast on CBeebies on January 2020.

I loved boarding this scene where Love Monster discovers ‘where Biggest Ever bunny is’! With very little dialogue, it fell to the boards to map out Love Monsters revelation along with his friends.
In Yay for Rain Day, Love Monster and Tiniest Fluffiest Bunny make a pillow fort, but the weather spoils Love Monsters plans. My daughter leapt to the challenge of building an epic pillow fort as called for in the script, which helped inspire the design.
As a 2D cut-out pre-school series, the shot design was generally straight on with slow cutting and an emphasis on acting poses. After working on a lot of highly cinematic action adventure 3D series, I really enjoyed being pushed in another direction.
