Angry Kid Mask

Angry Kid, directed by Darren Walsh, was Aardman’s first series released

exclusively on the internet via Atomfilms.com. BBC Three commissioned a

second series which played a major part in the channel’s launch. Unlike

most Aardman productions, Angry Kid was not created using clay animation but

a combination of pixilation (using actors in a form of stop motion puppetry)

with masks for facial expressions. This Angry Kid mask was made from a

process where each mask was individually crafted in a vacuum formed process.

The masks were mass-painted to keep skin color continuity.
