These Volvic adverts feature Alan the T-Rex, and George the volcano. With director Simon Willows, we had made various tests before the final ads were given the go ahead. I had already made prototype Alan and George puppets, but for the real thing I made two new Alans; with moving brows, arms and tails; and a new George; with cable controlled eyes and brows, and pedal operated cheeks.
