"THE STORY OF CRUEL FREDERICK"
So, here's the final outcome! Nearly 3 months in total including 2 and a half weeks filming. We had some serious technical difficulties at the beginning, but despite losing a week because of it, we were able to finish everything on time. The editing was rushed as a result, and there are definitely things that could be improved, however our entire group are really proud of what we've made - I think it's far better than we imagined it would be. The feedback has been amazing with loads of comparisons to ITV's 2000 'Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids'. Every audience I've shown it to have been left feeling very uncomfortable and upset... which is perfect!

Summary of Feedback:
Areas to improve: timetabling the making process, creating daily/weekly deadlines for every member of the group through discussion, testing all puppets before animating the film, analyse storyboard fully before filming, better house-keeping, collaboration: only as good as the weakest member.
Skills learnt: Animating, lighting, armature making, storyboarding, green screen, collaborating, time management, research, testing, experimentation, character designing, costume making, making animatics, being flexible & patience.
