Behind the Scenes
CGI Model
In 2014, Timothy was created from scratch in CGI by Arc Productions for the 2014 film, Tale of the Brave. The model was "hand-sculpted" in Maya, a 3D animation and modelling software.
From the twenty-second series onwards, Timothy's lamp was reused for Skarloey, albeit minus the handle.
