Skwigly Shakes It Up with a Stop-Motion Podcast Special!
Belly laughs and clay-mation creations: A Podcast Special you’re gonna wanna hear!
Catch the Stop Motion magic until 2024 at BFI Southbank
Now listen here, all you lovers of the motion that stops (read: ‘stop motion,’ get it?)! Got clay under your fingernails and wire in your toolbox? Then you’re gonna wanna tune into Skwigly’s uniquely crafted Podcast Special! Featuring the big shot animators – Osbert Parker, Joseph Wallace, Robert Morgan, and Suzie Templeton, these puppet masters are set to chatter about all things squishy and frame-by-frame.
How about a date at BFI Southbank to appreciate and celebrate handmade animation? The event runs until about forever (2024), so no excuses for missing it, right? And for those of us with more of an ‘exhibitionist’ in our souls, there’s the LAIKA’s ‘Frame x Frame’ to play with (but be careful, it’s fragile). Visiting this display is an absolute ‘stop motion’ in action (quite literally)!
Here’s my hot take folks: The Skwigly Podcast Special is like a blender where all the delicious parts of the stop motion animation world are smooshed together (not unlike the clay these folks animate). You’ve got the experts, the handmade feel, the history, and the admiration for stop motion technique all in one nourishing sound smoothie. So, pull up a chair, pop in those earbuds, and let the auditory magic of puppetry wash over you. Or go down to the BFI Southbank, it’s really up to you. We don’t force joy here!
