To celebrate the Edinburgh International Film Festival (which takes place 20 June - 01 July), this month our craft films all have a cinematic theme to them, and feature crafted characters, props and sets.

This week we feature Fantastic Mr Fox, Wes Anderson's stop motion animation based on the much loved children's book by Roald Dahl.

We've rounded up a few films which show the way the models and sets were created, and which display the painstaking detail needed to bring these crafted creatures to life.

In the puppet shop: Director Wes Anderson and actor Billy Murray introduce us to the actual puppets behind each of the film's characters.

Behind the Scenes Featurette - Step inside the studio for a quick look at the incredibly detailed stop motion animation process.

Capturing Mr. Fox's World - cast and crew weigh in on the pain-staking detail that went into both the characters' creation and stop-motion animation.

Get involved

If you have an online craft film you would like to share, we would love to hear from you. We're looking for films that showcase craft makers, special craft projects/exhibitions, enterprises, or other fun and quirky films that help to celebrate craft. 

It could be a film of you at work, a narrated film about the inspiration behind your craft, a film made for an exhibition, or something else. 

Just email laura@craftscotland.org with the following details:

• A short description of the film, including any credits
• A link to the film on YouTube, Vimeo, or another channel
• Whether or not you have a profile page on Craft Scotland

You do not need to be on the Craft Scotland site to send us your films, but films about Scottish craft, makers and places will be given priority.

Alternatively, you can tweet a link to your craft film to @craftscotland.

Please note: at this stage we are not looking for instructional, 'how to' type videos for this feature.
