Research Blog: Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin

In most of my animation work I like to give my projects the feeling of being old and forgotten, much like past pieces of media made for children. One such idea is to create animation that feels budgeted but has a nostalgic charm to it.

This blog post is to list down some minor influences, that being the works of Peter firmin and Oliver Postgate. Ivor the Engine- 1959 The Clangers- 1969

Bagpuss- 1974

Another aspect I enjoy to these older shows is the age and look of the footage as well as the unique musical scores attached to them.
