My Funny Family – clay animation
I am very proud to present our newest clay animation. You can see our old one here.
“My Funny Family’ was written by Poppy (5yrs) and all the characters made by Zali (9yrs).
We had so much fun together creating this little bundle of colour.
My sister Bene came down to help us shoot and animate this so a BIG thanks to you Bene!!
I thought I would include some funny little shots of the behind the scenes.
This is Poppy’s sketches and storyboard for the project.

Next Zali working on the characters.

Different stages of production….

and here is the film…. please note 5yr old humor throughout!
Oh good LORD. That is the best thing I’ve see all week, and has absolutely made my day. Well done, Bartholomew family!
Well done everyone! That was wonderful and very funny. I am sitting at work and I didn’t realize that I was laughing out loud until it was over and I saw people staring at me. LOL! Awesome job.
that is so great!
very funny and cute. great job!
That is SO cute. Well done!
thanks guys!
Glad to hear people are enjoying!
This is so absolutely adorable. I love everything about it. It makes me think of how oblivious I am when taking pictures. Later I think…hmmm…the three year old could have fallen six feet into that fountain.
by far the coolest thing i have ever seen..
i love that you put this together with your entire family.. that your girls got to do something like this.
i can’t even imagine creating the idea to actually pulling it together into such a cool little film.

I came across your site via Vimeo. I love this video and your work. Your family is precious!
Brilliant and hilarious, totally love it! Wish i had the skills to do something like that, you are all amazing!
This should win an Academy Award for best comedy!
The scene with “Any cars coming” is very recognizable for me and my kids.
“I can see your undies..” LOL. Hey, the video is so nice and I think clay animation is not an easy stuff! I agree with Dale Taylor that you all are amazing! Thanks for making me smile.
