Ricky’s Battle Shock and G.I. Tubby Tommy videos were specially made for GI Joe Film Festival, held annually in the U.S., and fully dedicated to the Stop Motion video clips that have as characters the unforgettable GI Joe, the famous toys produced by Hesbro since the beginning of the sixties.


To create animation and give the illusion of movement, Lee has physically moved 25 times per second the characters.
Ricky’s Battle Shock was made a year after the G.I. Tubby Tommy and required a greater effort due to the script especially, more complex than the last. The sound is by Tim Atkins, a collaborator of the Lanelea recording studio in Soho [London], who mixed the music of Fantastic Mr. Fox and Terminator 4. in this way Lee was able to work, as a director, in a very professional way with a recording studio, capturing all the opportunities and skills.
