It’s been a huge privilege to work on some compositing for Joseph Wallace, one of the top UK stop motion directors on such a stunning project for The Sleeping Forecast, a BBC Sounds brand film.
I met Joseph 16 years ago in Turin, my hometown, and I’m glad we have finally had a chance to work together!
Joseph and Yoav, the creative director and producer, created simple but striking theatrical works that invite the viewer to use their imagination. This film has a diverse cast falling asleep whilst listening to the podcast in various locations.
It’s been also wonderful to meet the brilliant team of modelmakers and animators in Clapham Road, a building buzzing with animation history.
