Dot, Squiggle And Rest - Ladybird

The Ladybird section from the (very young) kids theatre piece Dot, Squiggle And Rest, performed at the Royal Opera House and Polka Theatre in London. This is the original animation put together with a live sound recording as the footage I took it from does't quite do the animation justice. When it is performed live, the performers interact with the imagery and respond to the travails of our ladybird hero. animator

5 - Masters Film
