Sanna gets a new lease on life

Sanna’s Garden was where Fopspeen Moving Pictures started. We grew our stop motion skills there. Because of Sanna, Charles was invited to spend some time at Aardman Animation studios, in Bristol, getting some first class training from Merlin Crossingham, head animator at Aardman. It is therefore very sad that Sanna has been mothballed for the past three years, due to circumstances, as well as the fact that we could not succeed in getting funding to complete the series.

But things are looking up, and if all goes well, Sanna will be out in the world by September 2009, thanks to the enthusiastic support of Linette van der Merwe, Director of the Woordpoort Afrikaans Arts Festival, which will be presented on the Campus of the University of Pretoria in September 2009. The current completed 7 episodes of “Sanna se tuin” will be voiced in Afrikaans, with the talents of voice artists like Anna-Mart van der Merwe, and Chris van Niekerk, amongst others. “Sanna se Tuin” will be a collaboration between Fopspeen Moving Pictures and the Woordpoort Festival.
