Oliver Postgate A creative genius

Children's TV programmes from the 1950s all the way through to the 80s were predominantly filled with stop motion animation.
Oliver Postgate who created shows such as Bagpuss (1974), The Clangers (1969-1974), Pingwings(1961-65) and The Pogles(1965). His love for stop motion allowed him to create over eight successful children's television programmes, his stories were creative and innovative and kept children from the 50's all the way through to the 80's captivated by his stories. The use of camera movement allowed the visuals to feel like a video, and took away from the stuttered movement of the animation.
