“WORMS! Fetch me those worms, Harry!”
A shadow puppet animation featuring a badger working the night shift
Inspired by Tim Key’s poem, ‘Radox’, the below video is my first experimentation with blending physical shadow puppetry animation with digitally constructed environments.
The animation also transforms the original poem’s intent, reimagining the ‘badger’ very literally. ‘Harry the Badger’ works for ‘Valkory Bugs’, a corrupt raven who makes him ‘feel like death’ by mis-managing a fish bait company (i.e a ‘worm supplier’).
