CHAPMAN ENTERTAINMENT MENTORS YOUNG FILM MAKERS IN CBeebies COMPETITION

 

Doodle Dan – a winning student film for CBeebies

 

Budding film makers from the North West battled it out to create a short film for CBeebies as part of the CBeebies’ Student Commission 2010. Students from the Liverpool John Moores University beat off stiff competition to win the prestigious prize, creating a short film called Doodle Dan for the CBeebies website at the Chapman Entertainment studios near Manchester.

 

From over a hundred entries, Doodle Dan was chosen for its originality, humour and imaginative use of animation. The students were - Nicolas Thomson, Stephen West, Jonathan Wharmby and Pei Sze Wong.

 

The story of Doodle Dan involves a cartoon Astronaut and his friend Mit, who come to life when no one is looking. Mit ends up getting into mischief and it’s up to Dan to make sure Mit is alright and that he gets back into their picture safely. The short film also features Chris Chittell, known from his role as Eric Pollard in Emmerdale.

 

Phil Chalk, Senior Producer at Chapman Entertainment comments, “The CBeebies Student Commission provides a great platform for recognising talent in the North West. We were very pleased to mentor such a talented bunch of students at the Chapman studio. They were very motivated, creative and embraced the whole experience. The end result is brilliant!”

 

Sarah Colclough, Executive Producer at CBeebies said, "This exciting project gave students from the North West a chance to experience the production process from beginning to end including pitching, writing scripts, storyboarding to the final sign off on the animation. It was wonderful to be able to give this unique opportunity to young talented film makers, who in turn have created great content for the CBeebies audience."
