Aiken Drum | Nursery Rhyme for Kids

Here's the classic kid's folksong Aiken Drum from the preschool television show Let's Go Luna. View the full episode here:    • Video   I created the characters and animation all in stop motion. Aiken Drum is made from a styrofoam ball, bake clay, and felt. His arms and legs are wire covered with Super Sculpey. The bugs are also made from styrofoam and felt. The backgrounds are paper mache and the house and kitchen is made of rocks from the path where I live. I hope you enjoy :) Interstitial Credits: Supervising Producers: Nora Keeley & Peter Hannan Produced By: Charley Thomas Written By: Peter Hannan Directed By: Terry Ibele Design By: Terry Ibele Background Paint By: Terry Ibele Storyboard By: Terry Ibele Animation By: Terry Ibele Original Score and Song Arrangements By: Meiro Stamm Lyrics: Andy: Hi, it’s Andy with a folksong from Scotland!
