Marcus and the Mystery of the Pudding Pans

The ‘Marcus & The Mystery of the Pudding Pans’ animation and exhibition is a Heritage-Lottery-funded project and represents a collaboration between the Seaside Museum, BA (Hons) Computer Animation Arts, Rochester and Herne Bay Junior School. The animation was produced as a DVD for schools to enrich their respective curricula and to help encourage children to develop an interest in our past. The animation features not only professional voice-actors but also the voice talents of Lake Blumenthal, a pupil at the Herne Bay Junior School, who was auditioned late in 2018 for the lead role of 'Marcus'. The animation also features a whole shoal of fish, designed for the animation by more of the children at the school.

“Each step has been a new adventure for those involved at the Museum. Introducing the idea to the school and seeing their enthusiasm and support has encouraged community involvement. The film has far exceeded my expectations. It brings the story to life but still leaves an unanswered question what did really happen? Perhaps further investigation will discover the answer.” - Sandra Porter, trustee of the Seaside Museum, Herne Bay
