Overview
[edit]What's Your News? is a children's television series that concentrates on children's news. Hosted by animated news anchors, Grant the Ant and Antony the Giant anteater, it follows the classic news programme format and features interviews with children, special reports, traffic updates, and weather reports.
Production
[edit]The series was created by Original Pictures and TT Animation; a small production company which is a subsidiary of TT Games, in turn part of Hollywood major film studio Warner Bros., a division of American conglomerate Time Warner. It was produced using a technologically innovative combination of Live action, Motion capture, and Performed Animation, in conjunction with director Robert Tygner and originating puppeteer William Todd-Jones. A total of 52 episodes were produced over an 18-month period.
It features both CGI content and CGI characters composited into filmed live action sequences. The series' production framework sidesteps many of the labor and time intensive activities normally associated with animated content creation. Character animations are obtained via acted motion capture methods, with instrumented puppetry rigs being used for facial and other auxiliary animations.
