I'm just one guy, making films in my spare time in a small home studio- I need all the help I can get!
Whilst running my previous ‘Bitz’ film campaigns I had lots of requests from supporters asking to buy my dog puppets/models, so In 2018 I refined the 'junk-dog-puppet' idea into something I could replicate and sell- This was no longer a one off puppet experiment, I’d invented a breed of dog- Whibbits! I used the sale of the models and other merchandise (such as books, bags, T-shirts and posters) to fund the next stages of the project, and even raffled off the puppets I used in my animations. There have been over 70 Whibbits made and sold in lots of limited edition designs.
in addition to the promotional film the whibbits starred quite a few animations over the years, in each one I challenged myself to try something new…
Whibbits! Loop sequences (2018)
Inspired by an actiony word, these are perfect loops so the whippet just keeps on going!
'Splosh!'
This *NEW* 8 second loop sequence was an exercise/experiment in whibbit movement. The results are mixed... but I learnt a lot.
Danny, the composer experimented with some incidental off beat music for this.
