-Hello! -After a year in the making, | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
The Itch Of The Golden Nit has hit our screens. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
But this is no ordinary animation. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
Myself and thousands of kids from all over Britain got together and | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
thought up some genius ideas with the Tate Movie Project. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:20 | |
And...we made a film! | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
It's the result of the biggest movie-making project of its kind. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:28 | |
In this special, | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
how children created a ground-breaking film, | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
with a bit of help from award-winning animators Aardman. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:38 | |
And some of the best names in showbiz. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
But how did it all come together? | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
I'm at London's Leicester Square for the premiere of | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
The Itch Of The Golden Nit. You expect to see some celebrities, | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
but the stars are just arriving. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
I'm talking about a special gang of movie-makers - | 0:01:04 | 0:01:08 | |
the creators of the main characters. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
I've been waiting all year for this! | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
It's so amazing, I don't know what to expect. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:17 | |
-The stars have arrived, off you go! -Thank you! -No worries. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
Hey, brother. That's what I'm talking about! Dapper. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:25 | |
It all started nearly a year ago with the Tate Movie Project, | 0:01:25 | 0:01:30 | |
a mission to create an animated movie made by kids for kids. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:35 | |
From story and characters to music and sound effects. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:39 | |
Blue Peter helped launch the project last year... | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
We're launching our brand-new movie-making show! | 0:01:42 | 0:01:46 | |
..working with Tate galleries and Aardman Animations, | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
the people behind Wallace & Gromit. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
More than 25,000 of you signed up to the website. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
9,000 more took part in workshops on board the Tate Movie truck | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |
and at art galleries all over the country. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
That material gave animators some brilliant staff to work with. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:08 | |
Everyone will be so impressed. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
Let's meet the children behind the characters. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
Starting with the Golden Nit. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
The Golden what? | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
Toot, toot, toot, toot! | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
What is it? | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
Pull yourselves together! Haven't you seen the Golden Nit before? | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
'No, I can't say I have, actually, | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
'but I know someone who's itching to tell us more. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
'Meet this cat. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
'He belongs to 13-year-old Sarah, creator of the Golden Nit.' | 0:02:35 | 0:02:40 | |
-How did the idea all come out? -He had fleas, | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
we were flea-combing him on our porch, | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
there were fleas jumping everywhere, so I drew them as my nit. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:50 | |
When people mention fleas, I get itchy - | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
especially with hair like this, things can nestle in this! | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
Nits love a nice head of hair, and that's | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
where the Golden Nit is hiding. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
To escape Evil Stella, | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
I hid in the most boring, insignificant place I could find. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:08 | |
Alright, alright! | 0:03:08 | 0:03:09 | |
'The cat no longer has fleas, | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
'but he does have something else I just can't ignore.' | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
Your cat has got thumbs? | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
Yeah, he has five toes instead of four on his feet. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:21 | |
-That's not normal! -We don't know why he has them. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
One of his sisters had five toes as well. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
Wow, he doesn't like to stay still! | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
OK, our star has gone, we've lost the star. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
That's a diva cat! 'There goes the inspiration for our first character. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:39 | |
'Hopefully he'll give the movie the thumbs up. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
'Make way for our next character, Ten Heart Hero. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:47 | |
'Each heart's designed by a different child.' | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
My beautiful rainbow spaceship! | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
But when our hero started life, he had a different name. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:59 | |
Meet Super Light. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:00 | |
The force behind him is Aidan, aged nine, creator of superheroes. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:08 | |
Super Light, the guy you created. Talk me through his features. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:13 | |
-The thing I think about is the chin. -What was the inspiration behind it? | 0:04:13 | 0:04:18 | |
I don't know, I just think it makes him look bold, | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
-could scare enemies. -Do you think | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
a chin that massive, | 0:04:24 | 0:04:25 | |
-it really makes him look like a proper superhero? -Yeah. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
So, we go from this guy to this guy, Ten Heart Hero, | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
which is actually the superhero that is going to be in the film. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:38 | |
A change of colour, the chest, but the same character. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:42 | |
Some bits are an improvement, | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
like the cape. I didn't think of adding a cape. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
It's my drawing still, just the colour has changed. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:51 | |
I'm still happy with it. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:53 | |
How do you feel about your idea | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
being chosen to be in this phenomenal film? | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
Amazed. It's like... | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
For about a week after I got the news, I couldn't believe it. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:07 | |
I was like, it must have been a dream or something. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:11 | |
'But there's room for more than one superhero in this movie. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:17 | |
'52 of them, each designed by a different child. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:21 | |
'Turns out movie-making can be addictive. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
'Sisters five-year-old Fiona and seven-year-old Emma sent | 0:05:23 | 0:05:28 | |
'200 drawings to the website. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
'They've no idea their characters have made it in | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
'until I show up at their house.' Hello! | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
I'm Andy. Do you recognise these two characters? | 0:05:37 | 0:05:42 | |
I did the dad on that side, and Fiona did that one. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:48 | |
What if I told you these two drawings are | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
two main characters for the Tate Movie Project? | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
Pretty cool? It is really cool! | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
I'm coming over to you! | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
I've got you now, Nitty! | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
Leave our Beanie and Beryl alone. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
I'm loving Beryl's new look. Hasn't Beanie grown? | 0:06:05 | 0:06:09 | |
It's Beryl that has shrunk like us, love. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
She's not the brightest star in the galaxy, is she, your Julie? | 0:06:12 | 0:06:16 | |
The Tate Movie crew searched far and wide for pictures and story ideas, | 0:06:16 | 0:06:21 | |
from children all over the UK. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
In eight months, more than 9000 children took part in workshops, | 0:06:24 | 0:06:28 | |
producing tens of thousands of pieces of work. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:32 | |
And this is where it all ends up - Aardman Animations. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:38 | |
The nerve centre of our movie-making operation, | 0:06:38 | 0:06:42 | |
and also home to this guy. Alright? | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
The same people behind these characters have been | 0:06:44 | 0:06:48 | |
bringing your creations to life. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
Sarah Cox is the movie's director. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
How many children have submitted entries? | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
I just had a look, there was 57,113 just right now. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:03 | |
This shows the magnitude of this - | 0:07:03 | 0:07:06 | |
-it's huge. -It's massive, really big, yeah. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:10 | |
You received loads of entries - pictures, sounds, that stuff. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:15 | |
When it comes to the animation, do you tweak them? | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
No, I want to keep exactly the same as how the children drew it. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:23 | |
All we did, when you get a drawing, you get it from one viewpoint, | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
so we would turn the character round and draw the back, | 0:07:27 | 0:07:31 | |
or the side, or make the eyes roll and the eyebrows go up and down, | 0:07:31 | 0:07:36 | |
open the mouth and shut the mouth. So we added bits. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
If the person drew it in a runny-outy red felt-tip pen, we would find | 0:07:39 | 0:07:44 | |
-a runny-outy red felt. So -you stayed true to what has been created? -Yes. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:49 | |
I'm really intrigued to see how the process is getting on. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:54 | |
I'll introduce you. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:55 | |
'It's not just the characters - every background scene is | 0:07:55 | 0:08:00 | |
'made from different drawings. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
'This scene was made by around 80 children. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
'If they needed something specific, | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
'they put the call out on the website. Any dress designers?' | 0:08:09 | 0:08:14 | |
# My name is Stella, I am the best! # | 0:08:14 | 0:08:18 | |
With Stella, how many children would it have taken | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
to design this into her costume? | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
Stella was designed by one child, | 0:08:23 | 0:08:27 | |
but then each costume has got so many different pieces. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:32 | |
She's got a dress by one girl, and a hat by somebody else. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:36 | |
Every costume, she's got a different handbag and necklace. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:40 | |
So Stella has got about 50 different stylists. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:44 | |
I am named Stella! | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
I might have to take a leaf out of Stella's book! | 0:08:48 | 0:08:53 | |
Once the drawings have been scanned in, | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
they can be cut out and moved around. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
This is where the fun starts. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
How do you bring these characters to life? | 0:09:00 | 0:09:04 | |
They're like a puppet, | 0:09:04 | 0:09:05 | |
you're selecting the part of the character and moving it around, | 0:09:05 | 0:09:10 | |
and when you're happy, you move on to the next frame. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:13 | |
Can I have a go with Captain Iron Ears? I like him. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:17 | |
-What am I doing here? -Press that to click on the body part. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:21 | |
Just by clicking and rotating, you can control that. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:27 | |
Grr! | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
I'm going to try and imitate Captain Iron Ears, | 0:09:30 | 0:09:34 | |
-having drunk some rum. -OK! | 0:09:34 | 0:09:35 | |
Oh, I chopped his body in half. Let's not do that. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:40 | |
I like that, it's a lot of fun. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
This must take a lot of time. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
How long would it take you to do a scene? | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
It depends on the scene, the characters, | 0:09:47 | 0:09:50 | |
-but we might do eight seconds a day on a good day. -Eight seconds a day?! | 0:09:50 | 0:09:56 | |
-Yeah. -Whoa! | 0:09:56 | 0:09:57 | |
I can't wait for the film. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
Especially if Captain Iron Ears has anything to do with it. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:05 | |
# Oh, I'm a smelly pirate and I sail the seven seas | 0:10:05 | 0:10:12 | |
# He's a smelly pirate, and a stinky pirate's he... # | 0:10:12 | 0:10:19 | |
'But who on earth came up with the idea | 0:10:19 | 0:10:22 | |
'for such a smelly, stinky pirate? I went to find out.' | 0:10:22 | 0:10:25 | |
-Orla? -Hiya! | 0:10:25 | 0:10:27 | |
You don't look like someone who has created | 0:10:27 | 0:10:31 | |
-a stinky, smelly pirate. -Well, I did! | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
-Can I come in? -Yeah, come in. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:35 | |
Thank you very much. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:37 | |
'Orla first heard about the Project on Blue Peter.' | 0:10:37 | 0:10:41 | |
-So this is where all that creativity happens? -Yep. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:45 | |
Look at this on the wall - are these your drawings? | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
-Yeah. Let's -talk about your character, Captain Iron Ears. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:52 | |
Have you got a picture? Look at that! | 0:10:52 | 0:10:55 | |
Probably one of the hairiest pirates I've seen. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
Where did you get the inspiration? | 0:10:58 | 0:11:01 | |
I got the inspiration from my Uncle Richard. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
-Is Uncle Richard that hairy? -Nearly! | 0:11:04 | 0:11:07 | |
Have you got any pictures of Uncle Richard? | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
Yeah, I actually do have some here. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
Wow! Let's just stop here, this is amazing. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:18 | |
Uncle Richard, quite a pasty body with a very red face. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:23 | |
-I think he's been in the sun too long. -Just a bit! | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
OK, look at this. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
Uncle Richard as a pirate. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
Let's just compare them. We could have some similarities here. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:35 | |
Brilliant. How does it feel for you to have your character | 0:11:35 | 0:11:39 | |
-being in the actual film? -It's just mind-blowing, amazing. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:44 | |
I never thought it'd happen. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:46 | |
It seems you've got quite a good talent for drawing. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:49 | |
As for Uncle Richard, a job well done, mate. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
Arr, me hearties! Arr! | 0:11:52 | 0:11:54 | |
Goodbye, Captain Iron Ears, and all your crew. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:59 | |
Farewell, me hearties, I'd come with you, but I need a poo. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:04 | |
Time to give Captain Iron Ears | 0:12:04 | 0:12:06 | |
and the rest of your characters some celebrity voices. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:10 | |
I'm at the recording studios, and I've heard | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 | |
there's some big stars involved. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:16 | |
I like to sail the seven seas. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:20 | |
# Do the funky dad dance, do the funky dad dance. # | 0:12:21 | 0:12:25 | |
Not just the world, silly, it's the end of the entire universe! | 0:12:25 | 0:12:30 | |
They are shooting full-fat custard torpedoes at us. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:35 | |
Things are going to get sticky. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:37 | |
You have my nit, I want it back. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:41 | |
Goodness me, all this kerfuffle over a tiny parasite. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:45 | |
Pull yourselves together. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
Haven't you seen the Golden Nit before? | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
Mr Comedy himself, David Walliams, is the voice of Sarah's golden nit. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:54 | |
It really is a nit that's golden. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
Would you look at that? There are some similarities there. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
You can see why they thought of me. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:02 | |
The quick way to the sun. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:05 | |
How did you decide what voice to go for by just looking at this picture? | 0:13:05 | 0:13:09 | |
You try and get an attitude. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:10 | |
The nit seems to be quite pompous. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:13 | |
Get off! Will you stop that?! | 0:13:13 | 0:13:15 | |
Put me down. Do something! | 0:13:15 | 0:13:18 | |
Fiona's character, Mum, is played by Miranda Hart. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:20 | |
Any similarities there? | 0:13:20 | 0:13:23 | |
What do you think? | 0:13:23 | 0:13:25 | |
Same lips. Nose a little bit as well, and the orange cheeks. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:30 | |
Yeah. I sometimes wear an orange blusher, so there you go. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:33 | |
It's the rage nowadays. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:35 | |
Yoo-hoo! Hi, kids. Missed you. Looking cool. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:41 | |
How do you decide what voice to give her? | 0:13:41 | 0:13:43 | |
She's silly and jolly and upbeat, so that's what I went with. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:46 | |
I've got a strange sensation down my back. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:49 | |
It's telling me you're going to do it. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |
'Nothing fazes her.' | 0:13:51 | 0:13:52 | |
-Really? -She's up for a little laugh and her voice sort of goes like that. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:56 | |
Everything's very exciting. I'm quite a enjoying it. | 0:13:56 | 0:14:00 | |
I was sort of doing a little dance, going, "Go, Beanie." | 0:14:00 | 0:14:03 | |
Physicalising it. You do really get into it. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
And Miriam Margoyles has swapped Harry Potter | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
for the character of Mummy Socks. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
She looks a bit like an octopus. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:12 | |
She does. How many legs? | 0:14:12 | 0:14:15 | |
-She's only got six legs. -She's got seven eyes. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:17 | |
She's quite posh. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:19 | |
She's in a spaceship. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:22 | |
She's going to take over the universe. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:24 | |
I like knitting and crochet and taking over the universe. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:29 | |
-Not much happening there. -It's a quiet life really. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:32 | |
Doesn't surprise me. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
It's a golden cast including several cameo roles chosen by children. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:38 | |
Ha-ha-ha-ha-hah! | 0:14:38 | 0:14:40 | |
Little did I know I was about to join them. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:42 | |
Whatever. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:44 | |
Did you know that you are going to be in this animation as well? | 0:14:44 | 0:14:48 | |
-Are you serious? -This is your character. -Really? | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
-Called Catbot. -What do I do with Catbot? | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
I don't know, you are half cat, half robot. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:55 | |
-Are you serious? -I'm serious, yes, you're going to be in it. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:59 | |
-No one's told me this amazing news. -You are not getting paid! | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
I do it for love, I do it for the kids. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:04 | |
Catbot to the rescue. All right. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:08 | |
Come here, love, have a cuppa. I'm ready. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
This has been my dream come true for years. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:15 | |
We'll be at a film premiere and we'll be the stars of the film. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:20 | |
-Completely. I'm a cat robot and you are... -A golden nit. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:25 | |
I can't wait to see the film now, I really can't. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:28 | |
I'm starring in a film with David Walliams and other stars. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:31 | |
This is pretty cool. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:33 | |
The Itch Of The Golden Nit Fireboy. Wrapped. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:36 | |
Marvellous. That was great fun. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:38 | |
Your character, done. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:40 | |
Your words, done. His character, done. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:42 | |
-Our job, done. -We're off. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
But we haven't finished yet. Our movie needs a soundtrack | 0:15:45 | 0:15:49 | |
and that's where composer John Brown comes in. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:52 | |
He's using a space chase scene to show me how music can be created. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:57 | |
We start with a blank slate. What speed do you think it was? | 0:15:57 | 0:16:00 | |
-Quite fast paced. -And what kind of sound did you think? | 0:16:00 | 0:16:04 | |
HE BEATS | 0:16:04 | 0:16:06 | |
A bass sound. I'm going to try and find a bass. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
That's quite astronomic as well. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:13 | |
It is. Futuristic sound. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
We're talking vortexes, black holes. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
This is space. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:19 | |
-We start recording that. -After three, two, one - go. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:24 | |
Brilliant. And what would you add on to that? | 0:16:30 | 0:16:32 | |
I think we need something to sound a bit cosmic. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:36 | |
MAKES SHOOTING SOUNDS | 0:16:36 | 0:16:38 | |
OK. Too spacey? | 0:16:38 | 0:16:42 | |
Too spacey. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
One more. That's the one. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:48 | |
-OK. -I'm really good at beatboxing, too. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
Let's find those sounds. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:00 | |
That's good, that bass drum is good. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:03 | |
A and E. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
OK, let's make it happen. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
HE LAYERS THE SOUNDS | 0:17:07 | 0:17:09 | |
That's enough. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
It's now time to see what it sounds like on the actual scene. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:14 | |
Over my buffed body. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:17 | |
This universe is for sharing, sweet feet. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:21 | |
BEATING, SPACEY MUSIC | 0:17:21 | 0:17:27 | |
-What do you think? -It's just screaming potential. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
-I'd hold on to it if I were you. -I'll copyright it. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
-When you are releasing your first... -Single. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
So did my music make it into the movie? No, it didn't. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:41 | |
But I like to think I gave John some ideas to work with. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:50 | |
At least I've got Catbot. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
I did the voice for a character called Catbot. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:55 | |
-Oh, yes. -You haven't by any chance got a scene...? | 0:17:55 | 0:17:59 | |
-I don't know if you've done the music. -I've done the music. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:02 | |
-You have? -I have to say you are one of the late super heroes. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:05 | |
They call them super zeros because they are so late, | 0:18:05 | 0:18:08 | |
they are so useless. I don't know if you knew that. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
Hold on. That's not the brief I was given. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:14 | |
-I was told I'd be... -They lied to you. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:17 | |
-I'm a zero?! -Super zero. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:19 | |
That's even less than zero. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:21 | |
I don't know quite how to take this. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:23 | |
Let's just see it. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:26 | |
-Catbot. -Hairy man. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
Samba Rose. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:30 | |
Stretchy McStretchy. To the rescue! | 0:18:30 | 0:18:33 | |
Hold on, hold on, hold on. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:35 | |
My bit was just like... "Catbot". | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
Stretchy McStretchy got some serious lines there. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:41 | |
Stretchy, stretch. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:43 | |
Why didn't anyone give me Stretchy? It's all about screen time. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
-Catbot. -Hairy man. -Painter. -Samba Rose. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:51 | |
Stretchy McStretchy. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:53 | |
To the rescue. We got here as quickly as we could. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
So my Catbot lines got cut - great(!) | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
But it's not about me, | 0:18:59 | 0:19:00 | |
it's about as many children as possible taking part. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
Like these guys in Leeds | 0:19:03 | 0:19:05 | |
who've composed music for a scene with Beanie. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:08 | |
What do you sound like together, does it sound really big and epic? | 0:19:08 | 0:19:11 | |
A bit, yeah. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:13 | |
-Say yes. -I said yeah. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:16 | |
They are recording it on percussion instruments, | 0:19:16 | 0:19:19 | |
but they've only had a few days' practice. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:23 | |
This could either be ridiculous chaos or quite harmonic. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:27 | |
I'm going for a mixture between the two. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
SHE PLAYS IN TUNE | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
Let's try it again, one more time. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:41 | |
Because it's a film | 0:19:41 | 0:19:42 | |
and because the film is all edited to very specific times, | 0:19:42 | 0:19:47 | |
the speed at which we play and perform and record, | 0:19:47 | 0:19:52 | |
this music today, has to be very, very precise. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
Are we ready? We're going to try it a bit faster. 1, 2, 3, 4. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:59 | |
THE PLAY IN HARMONY | 0:19:59 | 0:20:01 | |
Brilliant. Very nice. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:20 | |
Very dreamlike. Very nice. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:24 | |
I am Ten-Heart Hero and I fight evil for justice. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:28 | |
Good work. Your music made the final cut. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:32 | |
Unlike mine! | 0:20:32 | 0:20:35 | |
I wish I was a super hero then I'd be a somebody, not a nobody. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:41 | |
Finally to the sound effects, | 0:20:41 | 0:20:44 | |
and guess who helped with the spooky forest? | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
What we are going to do is use the power of your voices | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
to create these sounds. Are you up for it? | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
Yes! | 0:20:53 | 0:20:54 | |
Can you do that? | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
This would be the leaves in a swamp. Give a little rub. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:05 | |
The wind sound. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:11 | |
I didn't even have to tell you - that's amazing. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:13 | |
We are going to do all those sounds at the same time. 1, 2, 3 - go. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:20 | |
LOW GROWLING | 0:21:22 | 0:21:25 | |
Shh! What was that? | 0:21:25 | 0:21:27 | |
Sorry, that was me. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:30 | |
Ohh! | 0:21:30 | 0:21:31 | |
That is really effective. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:33 | |
Brilliant. You may stop. Round of applause for everyone. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:37 | |
Well done. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:39 | |
A year after the launch of the Tate movie project, | 0:21:39 | 0:21:42 | |
The Itch Of The Golden Nit is ready for the big screen. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:46 | |
We've got a story... | 0:21:46 | 0:21:47 | |
You are going to hear your words and pictures and see them on telly. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:51 | |
An amazing cast of characters... | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
I am so intrigued that this is made just by kids. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
It's really, really clever and really sweet. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
I can't wait to see it. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:00 | |
And a soundtrack bringing it all together. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 | |
A film by kids, for kids. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:05 | |
They are quite clever these kids, aren't they? I feel under threat. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:09 | |
Here it is... Our film. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:15 | |
The Itch Of The Golden Nit. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:17 | |
34,000 children contributed to making this. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
I think we should get it to the projectionist. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
I'm speechless, I'm just so excited. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
I'm looking forward to seeing how all the characters turn out. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:30 | |
It feels mind-blowing, I can't believe I'm here. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:33 | |
OK, here you are. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:35 | |
-The actual film. Good luck. -Thank you, let's do it. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:37 | |
So, the moment we've all been waiting for. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:40 | |
Our movie-makers are about to see their work | 0:22:40 | 0:22:44 | |
on the big screen for the first time. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:46 | |
# I'm a smelly pirate and I sail the seven seas. # | 0:22:54 | 0:23:01 | |
-Catbot. -Hairy Man. -Samba Rose. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:06 | |
Stretchy McStretchy. To the rescue. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:09 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:23:09 | 0:23:13 | |
-What did you think of it? -It was really good. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
-Really? What did you think of your character? -He was really good. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:20 | |
-I thought it was amazing. -What was your favourite bit? | 0:23:20 | 0:23:23 | |
My favourite bit, that's hard. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:26 | |
So many brilliant bits. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:28 | |
There we go - bang! | 0:23:28 | 0:23:30 | |
Young directors of the future, loving it! | 0:23:30 | 0:23:32 | |
That was completely beyond my expectations. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:35 | |
Catbot made a cameo appearance, I don't like what they did with it. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:39 | |
Technically I'm a film star now but let's face it, | 0:23:39 | 0:23:41 | |
it was about the kids. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:42 | |
Everything you saw in there had been created by all these children. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:46 | |
Even though there were adults involved, the power | 0:23:46 | 0:23:48 | |
went to the kids today and that is exactly what I'm happy about. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:51 | |
I'm so proud of it and so should you. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:53 |
