So the idea of suddenly making a film using miniatures seemed completely bizarre to her. But Daisy had been developing her life-size painting style for an entire year, gradually increasing its complexity. Some people were confused as to why the film wasn't being done using miniatures. LBB> The film is certainly ambitious with its life-sized characters and props – why did you want to work on such a scale? And what was the reaction like from those around you (classmates, instructors, etc.) when they heard about the scale of your ambition?Īt first a lot of people were very sceptical about what Daisy was planning to do. Daisy had been a painter from a young age and Christopher enjoys making things out of cereal boxes, so the idea of making a half painted, half paper maché animation seemed to fit our particular skill sets. Daisy then went on to complete a Masters in Directing Animation at the NFTS where Christopher joined her to create The Bigger Picture. We slaved side-by-side over animation desks, trying to make our illustrations move, encouraging, consoling and scolding each other. We then both studied animation for a year on the St Martins postgraduate course, and again were terrified/amused by the lack of skill we seemed to possess. We met at Central Saint Martins School of Art and Design on the Graphic Design Course and were drawn to each other by our mutual lack of graphic design skills. In terms of how Daisy Jacobs and Christopher Wilder started animating together… It's all rather confusing, but I thought I'd just be clear. Chris Hees is not involved in the making of the new film as he is working on other projects, but Christopher Wilder IS making the new film alongside Daisy Jacobs. Chris Hees, who produced the film and was a student at the NFTS, and Christopher Wilder, who was the film's co-animator but did not go to the NFTS. Just to clarify, there are two people named Chris involved with The Bigger Picture. LBB> You were both on course at the NFTS – but how did you end up partnering up and working together?
LBB’s Laura Swinton caught up with them to find out more, With one very impressive accolade under their belt, Daisy and Chris Wilder have been raising money to get started on their next project. Daisy Jacobs directed the film while studying at the National Film and Television School (NFTS), with the help of fellow student Chris Hees, who produced it, and co-animator Christopher Wilder. Sunday saw the great and the good of Hollywood gather at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles for the 2015 Academy Awards, and among the hopefuls was the team behind The Bigger Picture, a touching animated film that brings together the 2D and 3D worlds. And so was a crew of recently graduated British film students.
