The Fear of Poo!
We might of accidently shown this episode to Yasmine as shes only just decided to do a bowel movement after 16 days!Artist : Luke Jurevicius
Figaro, a boy beset by an entire alphabet of phobias. Whether it is fear of spiders, vegetables, beards or even poo! Figaro Pho is a cross-platform animation series for broadcast on ABC. It was created with the generous support and investment of the South Australian Film Corporation, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and Screen Australia.
Luke Jurevicius dreamt up the series concept virtually on the spot, whilst entertaining family over brunch.
After a fine feast of culinary delights, mints were distributed around the table. This sent Luke into conniptions, as his fear of mint came rushing to the fore. This of course sent the family into hysterics and confusion, and it was from this moment that he suddenly realised that an audience could be entertained and engaged by a chronically phobic character.Luke notoriously exhibits a ream of unusual phobias, which suggests that the series is somewhat autobiographic! Fear of mint, prickly woollen jumpers and a fast beating heart are high on his list of phobias, Luke produced, directed, co-wrote the scripts, co-designed, storyboarded, co-wrote the music and voiced the entire Figaro Pho series, including the voice of Figaro.
On the top of the list, Luke engaged the interest of Deane Taylor, who is hailed a legend for his Art Direction on Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. As the Creative Consultant, Deane aided Luke throughout the project.
