Nick Cope's Popcast

  • Tim Hawkins

’ve worked with Complete Control as an animator on 3 series of this lovely show for BBC CBeebies. Nick Cope’s Popcast takes place in a magical world of music, animals, rainbows and dragons which is brought to life through a combination of live-action and 2D animation. I was brought on to the first series as a compositor initially, adding bits of live action to the animated songs and animation to the live action sequences. By the end of that series I took on more and more animation duties and on later series’ my role was to take the rough animations and get them to a final, broadcast-ready standard while implementing any changes from the various parties involved.
