I can answer your question about the way that props were designed and made for the BBC adaptation for Aslan...
Firstly 2 large Aslan statues were made of Aslan. The main, which was a moving statue (Where he was controlled from within) and the second a still life version which you will see in my profile picture.
The head of the moving Aslan prop is hanging proudly on the wall of the artist/creators house (Vin Burnham) I do not know what happened as yet to the moving body and the second (The still statue) proudly sits in my lounge. He is massive and stunningly beautiful (Also made by Vin Burnham)
We were lucky enough to buy him from salvage 11 years ago.. If we had not he would have been destroyed. I cannot out into words how beautiful his face is and how realistic his eyes and whole structure is for the year that he was created.
We appeared on the Antiques Road show with him a few months back... it will be televised next month. Anyway long short... I have since been in contact with Vin who has offered to restore him (She was amazed and over joyed that he survived a sheperton film studio fire some years back)
I posted because allot of people have stated that the BBC adaptation was poor. We need to consider where we were with technology in that time. and I can honestly state that being an owner of the series and all films there is no contest on the winner with graphics and visual effects however looking at my Aslan (I can call Aslan mine btw lol) I can say that he is a pure work of art!
