#POSER DEBUT YOUTUBE SERIES#

The new series premiered on Morph's official YouTube channel with 15 episodes from 4 July 2014 to 30 January 2015. In January 2014, Peter Lord and Aardman began production on 15 new episodes featuring Morph. The target was reached on 6 November 2013 after only 9 days, attracting contributions from over 1,700 backers who received a variety of rewards, including early access to the new animations and a small box of clay used in the production, depending on the individual's level of funding. The campaign set a target of £75,000 to be used to fund 12 new one minute episodes. On 29 October 2013, Peter Lord (co-founder of Aardman Animations) created a fund raising project on the crowdfunding site Kickstarter. The character was pictured in an episode of Take Hart, however, Morph appeared on the television after it was turned off, separating it from the context of the Take Hart episode. Morph was used to give a comic feeling while in a very serious situation in Series 2, Episode 3 of Ashes to Ashes. In 2009, the BBC drama Ashes to Ashes featured Morph in a guest appearance as a representation of a present-day medic. In March 2009, shortly after Hart's death, a flashmob of Morph characters was organised in London outside the Tate Modern art gallery. Morph's 30th birthday was celebrated in 2007 by creator Peter Lord and celebrity fan and comedian Phill Jupitus at events for the Encounters Film Festival in Bristol.

Some of the early plasticine models of Morph were destroyed in a fire at the warehouse where they were being stored, on 10 October 2005. Whilst Morph's nature is that of an innocent, curious character, Chas is much more mischievous, and prone to bad behaviour.Īfter Hart's shows ended, Morph and Chas appeared in shorts on the Children's BBC's successor programme SMart from 1994 onwards. Most appearances of Morph revolve around his friendship and rivalry with Chas, with each often playing tricks on the other and laughing at each other's misfortune. He and Chas both loved to eat cake, as seen in many of the shorts. Morph lived in a wooden microscope box on an artist's desk. He can also mimic other objects, or creatures. Morph can change shape, he would become spheres in order to move around, or extrude into cylinders to pass to different levels. Later on, Morph was joined by cream-coloured Chas, who was much more troublesome and mischievous. These were connected to the main show by having Hart deliver a line or two to Morph who would reply in gobbledygook but with meaningful gestures.

Morph appeared mainly in one-minute 'shorts' interspersed throughout the Take Hart show.

Morph was produced for the BBC by Aardman Animations, later famous for the ' Sledgehammer' music video, Wallace and Gromit, and Shaun the Sheep.
