PLAYSCHOOL ‘BIG ADVENTURE’ / OPENING FILM SERIES

Playschool’s ‘Big Adventure’ series features Australian kid’s favourite toy characters Little Ted, Big Ted, Jemima, Humpty, Maurice and Joey as stars of their very own shows. Between 2012 and 2018, I collaborated with the amazing ABC children’s art department and some very talented puppeteers and riggers to create six opening films, one for each character.

The fourth and latest addition to the hugely successful Playschool “Big Adventure” Series features everyone’s favourite clumsy Egg trying his hand at a variety of sports and body movements whilst inspiring kids to get out into the big wide world and have a go. I directed this program opener through pictureDRIFT for Playschool, collaborating with the amazing ABC children’s art department and some very talented puppeteers and riggers to bring Humpty to life as a clumsy but enthusiastic surfer, ballet dancer, martial artist and soccer player.
