From the Film Maker
I was drawn to the use of composition, pose, texture and colour in the painting as well as the humour in the subject matter. Using Maya software, I have transposed the characters into a British setting and the good old feeling of slapstick comedy. The physical humour is influenced by Blackadder and Buster Keaton. So see what happens when Sancho is transported into Tudor England and discovers the dangers of medieval drink driving!
