Please watch the video below, to get
a basic understanding of the project and the story of Lidice:

project and to make your very own promise visit this website:
I
initially became a part of this project, when working with Karen and Rob from
BIGred studios. Asking if I would be interested in collaborating as a group
with Nicola Winstanley and Sarah Nadin, to help produce a shadow puppet
animation for the Unearthed project. Of course i jumped to the opportunity.
Meeting up with Sarah at Hanley Museum where they were starting the community
based workshops, Sarah told me in more detail about the storey and project. Not
knowing anything about what the people of Stoke on Trent actually accomplished,
was amazing to me. Making me very position about spreading the word of this
utterly amazing project.
After
learning about the story, I then told several people even posting information
on Twitter and Facebook to make sure a larger group of people could learn about
it. I then visited the Unearthed 2013 website (shown above) for more
information and to make my promise. Shown below are my promise tag for the
sculpture and two people’s tags that the story was told to:
To
help with the project, I went to BIGred studio where the animation was being
filmed. And started to create some of the key silhouette pieces for the film,
starting with this decorative frame pieces.
The finished silhouette
Here is Chris Stone and Rob Pointon
filming the panning shots of the village.
Creating the impression of the moon
light by simply applying a torch to the fabric background.
Some more silhouettes I completed, this
time some simple marching Nazi that were applied to a stick, and placed in front
of the camera. Also some drunken Nazi’s.
