The Bill Bailey Animation
From Dusk 2 Dawn magazine presents an animated interview with Bill Bailey. A phone conversation between Bill Bailey and Dan Lamoon was recorded and obsessively listened to by a team of creatives in the midlands. The product of this obsession is a surreal and somewhat chaotic visual accompaniment to the interview. Bill’s words have inspired a magical journey to the moon with hummus, an exploration of ectoplasmic cosmic whimsy, a celebrity train ride and a mosh pit with Jon Snow.
Dan Lamoon recorded a phone interview with Bill Bailey then approached local animators, illustrators and a music producer to create an animation to the phone interview. It was a real team effort with a fast turnaround.
Everyone worked remotely in different locations across the midlands and utilised the technology of Facebook, Dropbox, You Tube and Wetransfer to communicate and work together.
Mair Perkins helped in the direction, project management, animation and illustration of the film as part of a team of creative professionals based in the midlands. The first part was produced in just one month and released on the 20th January 2012. Part two was released on January 31st and screened at QUAD’s Five Lamps Film Night.
