Maybelline Prittstick-Hove (cake fork, sweety teeth, blu-tac eyes). First painting in a long time. Muddy. Want to be more instinctive.

Throwback to when I made an Alan Partridge dot-to-dot favours for my wedding.

Applications for the 2026 Channel 4 Screenwriting Course are open. It offers 12 writers new to television drama an insight into how the industry works and to provide a “dry-run” of what it can be like to write under a television drama commission.

This whole section really.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

About a year ago, I animated some scenes for Funboys. In the end I handled most of the elements. I storyboarded it to help technical supervise filming. I did the designs, animation,FX and compositing, which wouldn't;t be ideal on a larger project, but for this it simplified marrying the elements.

Last month @jeremieperin.bsky.social joined us for a rare Q&A of his incredible feature Mars Express. Thanks to Mockingbird Cinema for helping make this bonus Overlap happen. Photos by @maxpriddy.bsky.social. Editing by @louishudson.bsky.social

Comfortable Enough.

This is the smartest damn thing I’ve heard all year. If nothing else, it might serve to erode employers‘ trust in ChatGPT.

While everyone's off fannying about in Annecy, I'm at the coal face of animation.

The @overlapsocial.com costume is underway thanks to some inspiration and materials from the studio’s bins

Popeye gets it.

Here’s a highlight video from February ft Terence Dunn’s music for Wander To Wonder. See you on May 14th 7pm at Nortons, Digbeth. Big thanks to @picturemover.bsky.social for the footage. Editing by @louishudson.bsky.social. Tickets at: overlapsocial.com

I get a kick from making stuff for the events. It’s a non-precious bit of fun, but also I can put my dignity last if it gets eyes on people creating art. It means a lot when people bare their soul a little bit for Overlap. Bare YOUR soul at: overlapsocial.com

Another extra pressie we have for the regular Overlappers is a new shiny sticker..... oooooh. You can buy them at the events for £2. More merch on the way - maybe.

Woohoo. Erratic Tony is going to be in the Pictoplasma gallery exhibition

Another Character Matters poster for @pictoplasma.bsky.social featuring the radiant Penny

My Character Matters poster for @pictoplasma.bsky.social. Less faceless rip-offs. More faceful rip-offs.

Throwback to when I made an Alan Partridge dot-to-dot favours for my wedding.

Making a costume for next week’s @overlapsocial.com. The body was made about 30 years ago. Thank god for forever chemicals.

🧵 On 17 December 1976, Thames TV aired a debate about paranormal beliefs. And it turned out to be one of the greatest half hours in British television history. Believe me: it's the best thing you'll see all week. First off, host Sandra Harris gets things rolling: (1/12)

Here's @louishudson.bsky.social's eyes in action.

Nov’s prompt was ’No Idea’ so @louishudson.bsky.social dressed as a no eye deer. The optional prompt for Feb 5th is ‘Wonder’. It’s just for inspiration. Submit whatever you want. Submissions can be from as short as 1 sec. I wonder what you’ll make. Submit at: overlapsocial.com

Our special guests in November wereTom and Henry Purrington from Golden Wolf. They showed us how they wiggled their way into the industry, a timeline of their projects and their tips to being seen. Photos by Trevor Price. Photo layering by @louishudson.bsky.social.

Cock up at the elf factory, parts 1 & 2.

The breaks are off. We’re sliding into the Christmas zone.

Mincemeat head.

Another little thing I did this year for BRB. Transforming Cinderella between two costumes. I've done this before with magical razzle dazzle to hide the joins. I miss the razzle dazzle, but it works.

Did a nice little job this year for Montblanc's Christmas advert. I created this moving vintage poster that connected the flow of the adjoining shots. Luxury pens one and all!

I need $ so I got my printer working right again and am having a sale for one more week!! Lowwwww prices michaelkupperman.com/shop

Another not quite sure what I’m playing at After Effects experiment.

A bit of finger something that isn’t going in the work thing.

The prompt for the August’s @overlapsocial.com was ‘For Crying Out Loud’. As usual I made a themed convoluted costume. This one had a bit of interactive animation to set it up. I reached into the screen to honk a baby horn which made it cry. Huge thanks to Poonam for literally being my right hand.

Prototyping next week’s @overlapsocial.bsky.social costume. Wed 20th Nov 7pm at Nortons Digbeth. Tickets: www.overlapsocial.com/event-detail...

Dirt Pillows

I also do VFX and compositing for TV. My old film, Croissant, had an unreasonable amount of FX in it. Green screen, continuity fixes, makeup and practical effects patches. There’s a big post on the whole making of if you head to the website. louishudson.co.uk/portfolio/cr...
