The Scarecrows' Wedding - Facial Rigging

Last year Flex Animation had the pleasure of working with the very talented team at Red Star 3D and Magic Light Pictures on ‘The Scarecrows’ Wedding’, an animated film adapted from the picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. The film was aired on Christmas Day 2025 on BBC One in the UK.

For the project David at Flex Animation Senior Rigging Technical Director was tasked once again with providing a facial rigging toolset for the key cast of scarecrows: Betty O’Barley (Jessie Buckley), Harry O’Hay (Domhnall Gleeson) and the antagonist Reginald Rake (Rob Brydon). David then completed facial rigging for the human farmer, his sheep dog and a plethora of animals required to deliver dialogue and emote for the film.

Special thanks to the team at Red Star 3D and Magic Light Pictures for working with David at Flex Animation on this very memorable and special project.
