Igloo News – September 2018
September 26, 2018Hey! And hope you are all doing well and not getting too cold all of a sudden like we are here in Igloo after having a scorching lovely summer.
We have been mad busy in here and have a good few things to show you all. One of which is a clip from our new TV show in development titled Old Irish Tales, which will be a 10 X 11 minute animated series for the family and in Irish. Below is a clip from one of the stories The Whistle Player and the Puca. This is done using mixed media – so puppets, photo’s, 2d animation and live action all mixed together. This was funded by Screen Ireland.
Old Irish Tales displays Irish fantasy storytelling at its best and presented through animation. We will see, our history, our myths, our Irishness, Puca’s and Banshees! With wit, magic and pure unadulterated spookyness, we hope Old Irish Tales will be the next “must see” series. This show will be an Igloo Animations production joined by award winning writer Marina Carr.
