The Technique

Summerton Mill is a 21^st Century stop-frame animation. Filming takes place on a model set where the characters (measuring up to seven inches tall) are moved from position to position in minute increments, with a still image taken in each position.

 When these frames are viewed rapidly in succession, the characters are brought to life in an appealing way with a movement that is characteristic of many of the older classic children’s television series such as ‘Trumpton’, ‘Camberwick Green’, ‘Bagpuss’ and ‘The Magic Roundabout’.
