Sam Campbell and Joe Pelling on the Making of Make That Movie

Sam Campbell and Joe Pelling discuss their new Channel 4 mockumentary series Make That Movie, produced by Blink Industries. The show parodies amateur filmmaking and makeover programs like Changing Rooms, blending live-action with diverse animation styles including CGI, hand-drawn, and 3D. Campbell, a comedian, and Pelling, co-creator of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared, first collaborated on a 2019 Comedy Blap called Get Real Dude. The series features segments such as a sci-fi epic set in a retro internet landscape and a creepy-cute creature called the Yooglet. Influences include Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, The Mighty Boosh, and films like Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau. The opening sequence emulates light makeover shows like Garden Force, with music composed by Pelling. The duo hopes to explore stop-motion animation in a potential second series.
