1. Ten Thousand Pictures of You

An exhilarating rollercoaster ride through the animated pictures of Sarah's world, as she gets revenge on the man who broke her heart!

Written, Directed & Edited by Robin King
Starring Denise Hoey, David Crow, Ruth Larkin

This pixilation (stop-motion animation using real people) was made in 2006 for Screen South as part of the UK Film Council's Digital Shorts scheme. As much as possible, it was made 'in camera' without digital superimposure, using thousands of printed materials.

In answer to some of the questions below and others I've been frequently asked:

The whole film took about a year: roughly three months each for development, prep, shoot and post - although due to the nature of the film, part of the post bled into the shoot.

The programs I used were Photoshop, Premiere 6.5 and some bespoke programs I coded myself (a 3D animatic planning program and another to smooth out some of the tracking shots). To be honest my machine and the software weren't up to what I needed from them, and I would have a much better time of it now, with my macbookpro, FCP and a tablet...

I used a Canon Eos 350D Digital SLR to shoot, and took roughly 26,000 photos overall.

  • Jonathan Entwistle plus 11 months ago
    Yes, interesting, but any idea when the Film Council is going to fund some drama?
  • I saw all the films funded as part of the screen south Digital Shorts scheme, and more than half of them were dramas. I half to say none of the dramas were as compelling or as memorable as this.
  • Jonathan Entwistle plus 11 months ago
    Yes, I can imagine. This is technically superb and compelling in that regard.... however it is not a compelling story in any way. It is entertaining, and that counts for a lot. I just take issue when 'film' funds start supplying money to concept driven, technology-based stuff rather than good story telling, directing and cinematography. When there are no good scripts I suppose all they can do is fund interesting digital experiments. They have to give the money somewhere.
