you should fear or not. I wanted to use a
lot of shadow play and close ups of teeth
gnashing down on toys but as the story
developed I became increasingly worried
that it could become too scary or that
audiences would still question their
thoughts on the Bog Goblin… so I
ramped up the fun.
After taking influences from ‘Drop Dead
Fred’, ‘Larvae’ and ‘Minions’ it became
apparent that some children come to an
age where everything gross is hilarious. I
needed the goblin to represent all of this
including smelly bums, frantic farts and
squishy bogies to help soften his original
elusive nature.
As the original idea was to produce a
storybook, I decided to keep the element
of rhyme and alliteration to create a
rhythm for the story and to engage
audiences both visually and auditorily.
It was now time to decide what antics he
would get up to…
