Another mini-feature from Kolik Films, I was glad to be
back on board with the team helping out with some props.
This job called for some puppet-held gizzmos, two golf
buggies, a van and a replica of the front of the van. The very beginnings of the whole job - an mdf mock-up to
establish dimensions - some cheating required here as the
manequins are a queer shape! In the finished model, the puppets have to be animated
while in the van - a tall order for a fully fitted
interior! The finished van - fully fitted interior with adjustable
seats and stearing wheel (controllable from inside or
outside), fully working and dimmable practical lights
(including number plate, interior effects lighting and
dashboard), removable front windscreen, and removable
roof. Here's a view of most of the lights - you can just about
see the dashboard - and the headlights (insert) illuminating
a bit of scenery in a forced perspective shot. Two 2W
warmwhite Luxeons with a 7 degree refractor per side. A better view of the dashboard and one of the interior
effects sources. Switch, battery and dimmer locations One of the golf buggies - they also had working
headlights One of the team animating the Glendogie Bogie on set. Another view of the set.
