A TV series about the adventures of a dinosaur called Kiri and her purple friend Lou - which is animated in a Christchurch studio - is winning hearts all over the world. The characters in Kiri and Lou are hand-sculpted from clay, which allowed the animation team a lot of room for creativity, says producer Fiona Copland. The appealing sweetness of Kiri and Lou began with Richard Sinclair as the writer, Copland says.
