麻豆约拍

Last October, students from the North of England were invited to take part in the creative development opportunity, to generate ideas for a short animation to go with Scream Street on C麻豆约拍. For the uninitiated,  is based on the best selling books by Tommy Donbavand and follows the story of Luke Watson: a regular teen apart from the werewolf gene.

When the Government Housing of Unusual Lifeforms (G.H.O.U.L.) gets wind of Luke’s hairy habit, they transfer him and his parents to Scream Street – where surfer-dude zombies, sarcastic vampires, martial arts mummies, glamorous witches and just plain-bad monsters put a whole new spin on community spirit.

The students used a storyboard process to come up with ideas for two characters from the stop-motion animated series. Five students (from four universities) were selected to spent a week at animation production company Factory to bring their storyboard/animatic to life under the guidance of Scream Street Bites' director Jo Chalkley, with music composed by Gareth Davies.

The five winning animations are embedded below: 

Ball by Hannah Potter – BA (Hons) Animation and Games Art at University of Sunderland

Chicken by Kira Adams – BA (Hons) Stop-Motion Animation at Edge Hill University

Snake by Liam Springthorpe – BA (Hons) Animation at University of Central Lancashire

Spider by Declan Holgate – BA (Hons) Animation at University of Central Lancashire

Tail by Nicola Markham – PG Diploma Media Production: Children’s Television at University of Salford

C麻豆约拍’s Scream Street Bites have been produced in partnership with animation production company Factory and international media group and rights holders Coolabi.
