About Cuppa Joe
Cuppa Joe is the first stop motion/live action film I produced. We were a small team of 7 and we created this film in September 2018- December 2018.
​
We were working properly with a client for the first time and I was having to keep them updated via email, whilst also managing my team. Because this is a stop motion film I also had to do a lot of budgeting to be able to afford all the equipment to make our sets. Thankfully after the film was finished I set up a meeting with our client and got my team fully reimbursed for the money we spent on the project.
​
I think incorporating the live action section not only helped develop our story but it also saved us a lot of time and meant that as a team we all learnt new skills.
​
This was the first time that I was officially the producer on a project and so I felt a lot of pressure to succeed, we were also working more independently with our client so I wanted to make sure we completed the film on time to meet their deadlines. We completed this on time and to a great standard so I'm really pleased with the result.
