The Threepenny Opera Trailer

This is a trailer for 'The Threepenny Opera' to be performed by Gasleak Theatre Company on 20th-24th October 2009 at Melton Theatre, Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire UK.

The show is a musical comedy about Mac the Knife (and is the source of the famous song).
Macheath (Mac the Knife) marries Polly Peachum. This displeases her father, who controls the beggars of London, and he endeavours to have Macheath hanged. His attempts are hindered by the fact that the Chief of Police, Tiger Brown, is Macheath's childhood friend. Still, Peachum exerts his influence and eventually gets Macheath arrested and sentenced to hang.

The trailer was made by Tom Marshall BA (Hons) at Full Focus Imaging (www.fullfocusimaging.co.uk)

It was made by hand sketching images from photographs, painting them in Photoshop and animating in Adobe After Effects.
