"The animators work with a computer software called TVPaint. All the other classic Raymond Briggs films – The Snowman, The Snowman and the Snowdog, Father Christmas etc – have been animated on paper; Ethel & Ernest is the first to be made 'digitally'.
This software has now become the “industry standard” according to director Roger Mainwood. Animators work on a tablet called a Wacom Cintiq, still drawing each character movement by hand, only on a digital screen rather than with pencil and paper."
Hi all, thanks for sharing the links, podcast about the film and the film website itself. These are so great! I already spent half of my day checking them out! Thank you!
