Hi everyone!
I’ve not updated since I posted my new reel just before Christmas. Now that crimble is well and truly behind us, it’s time for an update!
Just before Christmas I shot a pilot TV show called “Captain Travel”. Now that it’s all edited and polished we just have to sit back and see if Disney are interested in turning it into a series. We shot the pilot on a shoestring budget in a few days. That being said, we were all very happy with the result and feel it clearly demonstrated the potential it has for a TV show.
So fingers crossed.
As usual there are a couple of other projects bubbling away in the background as I speak. However, one has leapt to the front.
I’m thrilled to announce that I will be part of a wonderful team shooting a 9 minute minisode of GERRY ANDERSON’S FIRESTORM.
As a kid I grew up on re-runs of Thunderbirds, Stingray, Joe 90, Captain Scarlet and Terrahawks. This is an absolute dream come true! The idea is to shoot a kick ass trailer to interest distributors in a potential TV series. No CGI! Just wonderful miniatures, models, practical FX and, most importantly, PUPPETS!
It’s early days at the moment, but more info can be found at the Gerry Anderson website.
That’s all for now.
More updates soon!

Afternoon all!
It’s been a busy couple of weeks here at Spooner Towers. As is the way with this rather odd business, I was all set to work on a job when it suddenly evaporated!
Hey ho.
It’s just the way it goes. So I took all that disappointment and channeled it into making a new showreel. I’ve been meaning to do it for a while anyway. Over a couple of weeks I looked through all the footage I have available to me and edited and edited and edited.
In the end, rather than have a reel that was trying to accomplish too much, I decided on creating a “sizzle” reel first. I’m not sure where I heard the term “sizzle” before but basically it’s a short reel designed to grab your attention and give you an idea of some of the projects I’ve been associated with.
I will be creating a longer “Performance Reel” next. This will consist of one, or maybe two full scenes and will give a better feel for my acting and voice skills.
Being a puppeteer meant that getting a professional to make this reel was out of the question, WAY too expensive! So I pulled my socks up and did it myself. I rather proud of the end result.
So here it is!
The ANDREW JAMES SPOONER “Sizzle” reel!
I hope you enjoy it.
More to the point, I hope you hire me!

PS. Oh, and I just landed the lead puppet character in a pilot for Disney. That’s all I can say though! When I’m free to speak about it I’ll bring you up to speed.
