I'll be heading up North on 15th November, to give a masterclass at the Manchester Animation Festival. I'm looking forward to taking the audience behind the scenes of The Highway Rat and talk about the various production stages that took this story from picture book to half hour TV special. It's a nice opportunity to show 'never-seen-before' concept art, character designs etc... all the drawings and paintings that established the look of the film and informed the CG production. So if you're a fan of Magic Light Pictures, I hope to see you in Manchester next month! For those interested, click
