We can finally share the full video for “Daddy” from Coldplay’s new album #EverydayLife and we couldn’t be more proud!

We created the #puppets and the puppetry for this stunning video, sensationally directed by @AsaLucander and produced by the legendary @aardman.

Please watch!

[Coldplay @coldplay]

Daddy. Song no. 5 on our new album and one of my favourite videos that we’ve ever had. Thank you @AsaLucander @Aardman. The track is out now to stream / download everywhere. #EverydayLife album out this Friday. PH 🌙☀️

Happy Father’s Day!

[Aardman @aardman]

We couldn't let #FathersDay pass without sharing a little BTS clip from the making of @coldplay's 'Daddy', featuring puppeteers @BrunskillGrimes

[Brunskill & Grimes @BrunskillGrimes]

[Brunskill & Grimes @BrunskillGrimes]

We’ve been working with the wonderful artist @MohmeDsaeed on a storyboard/animatic for THIS MOOSE BELONGS TO ME.

This will be the “script” we use instead of a traditional text or treatment as inspiration for our show!

Here’s a few WIP images...

@polkatheatre

[Brunskill & Grimes @BrunskillGrimes]

This production (like so many others!) had to be postponed until it is safe to create the show we want.

This has meant that we were presented with the opportunity to work in a different way to develop the visual language of our show...

[Brunskill & Grimes @BrunskillGrimes]

Back in the room doing a spot of #puppet R&D for our production of THIS MOOSE BELONGS TO ME by @OliverJeffers in a co-pro with @polkatheatre.

Here are @Gareth_Aled And @ScarletWild exploring how puppeteer physicality and scale can influence material choices and puppet design!

And for the hell of it, an image of us giving our best “Salt Beef”

[Brunskill & Grimes @BrunskillGrimes]

Here’s an advert we shot recently for @DoorDash with the guys at @thisisblink and directed by Stevie Gee and Essy May.

It’s a really fun, multimedia commercial mixing film, animation, dancers and puppetry.

We did the #puppetry bit! (Puppets made by Anarchy.)

Check it out

[Brunskill & Grimes @BrunskillGrimes]

And here’s a more detailed clip of us working out a dancing piece of salt beef.
