+Flash on the Beach


We are thrilled that our Flash on the Beach title sequence is featured on this month’s Stash dvd magazine (no.62). There’s even a super short ‘Making of’ sequence, featuring the designs, Flash animation and layering up the compositing, where the hand held effects and grain were added.



Fantasticly the title sequence has been blogged by the some inspiring blogs, including; the stash Magainze blog, cold hard flash, and motionographer. Thanks to everyone for checking out the film and their kind words!

'Little Things'

+Jeffrey Brown


Over the last few months we’ve been working for seminal Chicago cartoonist Jeffrey Brown, author of Clumsy, unlikely. We've been animating Jeff’s drawings for a short promo to promote his new book ‘Little Things’. The promo was animated in flash for Jeff's website and was great fun. Ginny met Jeff in comic book store Gosh in London last year and got talking about animation.



The music was created by Bristol band Mewgatz. Jeff also created the artwork for their debut album, including a 16 page album comic book.

Channel4 + UK Film Council: Perhaps?

+Perhaps God is Angry
Early in the year we were lucky enough to be short listed by both Channel4 and the UK Film Council for short film funding for our film ‘Perhaps God is Angry’. Perhaps he was on those days, as sadly we didn’t win either of our pitches, but throughly enjoyed the odd experience!

Thanks to Sam Bourner for shaping our scribbles into a script.


Here's a glimpse of our 'storyboard' doodles. The film is based on an 30second ident that i started which quickly grew wildly out of control into a 3 min film, this seems to happen quite alot.

The Mystery Of Pig City!

+NYICFF 08

Ginny and I have been off to New York for a few days as my graduation film; The Mystery Of Pig City’ was selected to be apart of the International Children’s Film Festival.



The film played to an excited (perhaps too excited) young audience and was followed by an embarrassing Q&A featuring questions about ‘colours, what sausages are really made off and suggestions for ideas that were better’. An amazing festival, and New York was an amazing city.

Congratulations to Sarah Cox who's film Don’t let it all Unravel won the Environmental Award and to Felix Massie who's great film 'Keith Reynolds can't make it tonight' also won the 12-18 award.

Thanks to Paul Brewster and the ICFF volunteers for making the trip so memorable.

Pictoplasma Pixels!

+NYC 08



We are really happy that Pixel film: {?) was selected as part of the Pictoplasma: NYC Festival. It will also be apart of the touring program, which will next be visiting Argenina! It's screening in the Characters in Motion category. Sadly Ginny and I are unable to go this year, but its amazing to be apart of such an eclectic and outstanding group of films.

Thanks to Anna, Peter and Lars once again for all their support.
