Tellytales - Series 2

Hi all,

This past week, the second batch of 10 episodes of Tellytales has been airing across BBC2 Wales and Cbeebies (and I believe, the BBC HD channel). I was VFX Supervisor and lead compositor on the show.

It is filmed against greenscreen at BBC Wales on HDCAM-SR, and all the compositing is done using After Effects CS3. The kids are all regular (i.e. non-stage school) kids, and the artwork making up the backgrounds is also made by Cardiff-based school children.

Here are a few of my favourite episodes from this latest series:
The Dancing Princess - a bit like The X Factor, but set in the Madagascan jungle
Why the Sea is Salty - two giants grind salt for a greedy pirate
The Flying Carpet - Arabian Knights tale

The stories are very simple, but it is a pre-school show!

Hope you enjoy them!
