A new exhibition celebrating the unseen work of animator Arthur Humberstone has been brought to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The exhibit, put together by BA Graphic Design final year students at the Sheffield Hallam University, showcases archive material and artwork from his time as lead animator on films like Animal Farm and Watership Down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daisy Schwarzer, one of the third year students who worked on the exhibition said: \u201cArthur Humberstone had created such cool work, I wanted to be involved to see the stories behind the illustrations and animations. I\u2019d made publications and digital media before but I hadn\u2019t branched out to exhibitions yet so this seemed like a great opportunity to learn new design skills.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The exhibition tells the story of animation in the UK throughout the twentieth century, with Humberstone\u2019s career spanning across 45 years and including feature films, animated series and TV adverts.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ros Wilbourne, a member of the public visiting the exhibition said: \u201cIt\u2019s quite interesting to think about the start of animation and where it all came from. It\u2019s not something you usually think about.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The archive material has been provided by his twin sons and Sheffield Hallam University alumnis, Nigel and Klive Humberstone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The exhibition demonstrates his work on some of his most famous projects like the BFG and the well loved character ‘Ginger Nut’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Miss Schwarzer added: “The projects he worked on have been a huge part of my childhood. Noddy goes to Toyland was iconic and obviously the yellow submarine, my family love the Beatles!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
