Creature Comforts DVD



 Creature comforts was first seen as a British comedy animated short film. They used real life conversations from different people. They intended to find people who were foreign and living in Britain, or people who had problems about anything. The creature comforts team made these conversations 100 times for humorous just by syncing the voices with animated characters that they made.

They make the scenes as small as they can because they cant use plasticine to create a scenery which is up to human scale. They use plasticine because it is easy to use and they can show a lot of different expressions and emotions. Also the producer mentioning that eyebrow movements are important, and using squash and stretch.
The sculptors make different expressions for one character so they can simply take off the mouth of a character and change it to a different expression. They had made 150 speaking characters and more background characters and this is quite a big achievement for one program.
