Lately I’ve been in an indie team making stop-motion animation. It’s just 4 of us (animator, writer, voice actor, sound designer). The show’s called The Tiny Angry Witch. It’s all basically hand made. No AI. It’s tiring, but we love what we do. So, anyway, here’s a Witch making rude noises:

I'd also be quite comfortable with the BBC saying: "We don't hire famous people; we create them." It hires unknowns, develops them, then sets them free to disappear to ITV or Sky or Netflix or wherever they can earn the big bucks. See also: developing formats.

I wrote one of these! "The Devil in the Detail" pairs Sir Derek Jacobi and Kieran Hodgson in a drama where the villains are energy companies kicking up their bloody prices. (Written from experience)

⭐️ SNOOZE ⭐️ The Tiny Angry Witch dislikes mornings just as much as we do. It's authentic stop-motion animation. We'd love to have more time to devote to these, so if you know any eccentric millionaires, let us know! Written, built, animated, voice and scored by 4 x people (and 1 x Witch)

Imagine buying so much Amol Rajan merch that paying £299 a year for a 30% discount makes financial sense

I like the new TARDIS console room. #narnia

I'm Speakies Shortlisted! I wrote the scripts for Audible's Crime Scenes, going somewhat beyond my whimsical comfort zone. It's a true crime series with lots of blood and gore and nasty people with too much time on their hands. (So expect Rudyard Ruins True Crime next year)

The fact we have an executive class that doesn't know what to do with the Looney Tunes or The Muppets really sums up what a joyless, barren world they inhabit.

Thank you to everyone who came to Wooden Overcoats yesterday to see us launch Rudyard to the moon! I celebrated by going to see Coyote vs Acme this afternoon and loved it

Getting ready for Wooden Overcoats tech run. Rudyard On the Moon is tonight at 7pm! Tickets available for: - watching in the room - watching online, live - watching online, up to 7 days after www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/pod...

Remember: it could be someone you know.

An outrageous Hollywood conflating of the Peasants’ Revolt and Robin Hood, which presumably erases the historically attested role of Wat Tambor and the Techno Union.

Saw the excellent 60s drama BUNNY LAKE IS MISSING last night. It came strongly recommended to me by an American friend who said it was filled with nightmarish maniacs who keep gibbering nonsense, and it turned out they were British character actors talking about the BBC.

⭐ BOOK ⭐ The Tiny Angry Witch has got a book of magic - but when you’re tiny, turning the pages can be tricky… This is our longest video so far. Stop-motion animation, made with models, props, and patience! Written, built, animated, voiced, and scored by 4 x people (and 1 x Witch)

Making this one nearly killed us, but it’s one of our Tiny Angry Witch favourites

Dragged myself to the end of a first draft on the new script, chaps

I’ve never seen this Harryhausen quote about why stop motion animation is its own aesthetic form & trying to make it feel like smooth live-action is a category error. ❤️

The absolute state of getting a terrible cold during the hottest summer we've ever had. Sitting in bed, sneezing my head off, and melting in the heat. (Yes it's got cooler, sod off, I'm ill)

Beware! The Tiny Angry Witch has found Bluesky!

This has the glorious chaotic energy of the early Morph animations and I love it.

Here’s the latest stop motion animation from my Tiny Angry Witch team. (I’m the writer, I can’t take credit for the animating!) It’s one of our longest, and it nearly drove us all mad, but we’re really proud of getting it made! 1 x Tiny Angry Witch 1 x broom No AI

Happy World Tiger Day
