Stone faced!

Unveiled in colour is the star of our show, James Hutton, depicted as a big chunk of rock. He talks, and even sings too, but you'll have to wait a wee while longer for that. But not too long, screening in 7 weeks. 9th of May....Woo hoo!


And take a peek here at what else is happening around the hill on the day.

Stone the Crows!

Well look who just flapped in..!

Introducing our  commentator for the Old  Town Chorale, none other than Mister ....Crow.
Suggestions for a more appropriate or imaginative name are warmly welcomed. More colourful characters to be unveiled shortly.

....and in colour

In case you thought we'd gone all monochrome on yies, here's Rosies delightful draft of the Crags in full technicolour with Arthurs Seat looming up on the horizon...but what surprises lie beyond the lip of that precarious precipice?

Meet Sarah, her Dad and James Hutton....

Here are our final character sketches for Sarah, her Dad and James Hutton. Now all we have to do is colour and animate....easier said than done! Watch this space.

These are the stars of our show, those very same rocks we're talking about. Look closely and you might see the choir waiting in the wings. They take a lot to get warmed up but at least you can see them now the ice has melted.

 

rock & roll

Hey Well,

There's the cataclysmic news of a mighty rock fall down the face of Salisbury Crags yesterday. My oh me! Very dramatic, and quite noisy by all acounts. At least theres still some rocks left for us to base our characters on.
