Local Animators Nominated for a BAFTA
15/01/2009
Animated short Codswallop by Warwickshire-based duo The Brothers McLeod has been nominated for the 2009 BAFTA award for Best Short Animation.
The short film goes up against heavy-weight contenders Varmints – by former BAFTA winners Sue Goffe and Marc Craste, and the enormously popular Aardman effort Wallace and Gromit: A Matter of Loaf and Death.
According to animator of the pair, Greg McLeod, "Codswallop is a subconscious drift through despair, frustration, joy and redemption." Based around a series of postcards sent by the animator to his son, the short is split-screen and "features a collection of surreal characters at crucial moments in their briefly glimpsed stories."
