Love in the face of war, looking back at our 2015 film for @nytimes “Modern Love” series, based on a true story by Nikolina Kulidžan.
Brought to life through minimal, sensitive animation and a 90s Balkan inspired palette. A quiet teenage romance shaped by memory, distance and the shadow of war.

Happy Earth Day!
Our little blue planet has made 10 trips around the sun since November 2015, the year we had the pleasure of creating Forest 500 for COP21 in Paris.
Produced with @global_canopy , the film explores the importance of protecting tropical forests: not only as ecosystems, but as essential natural capital.

The days are getting longer, the sun is shining, and everything is bursting back to life. Spring feels like the perfect time to share this again...
Throwing it back to 2016 when we teamed up with @guardian_labs and the @woodlandtrust to create a film for the ‘Free Trees’ campaign.
The story follows a boy and a sapling growing side by side, highlighting the powerful role a tree can play in shaping a life and the beautiful impact it can have on a family.

Sarah’s Story
A short film made for the @nspcc_official in 2013, tells the true story of a survivor of childhood abuse.
Set on a train journey seen through Sarah’s eyes, the shifting landscape becomes a visual metaphor for her childhood experience. As her story unfolds, the scenery outside the window mirrors the deepening narration. Slowly distorting and closing in, moving from light and openness to something darker and more claustrophobic, before hope gently restores colour to the world beyond the train window.

Friends in Birmingham. I will be at the @overlapsocial show and tell with @mothanimation and @dogandrabbitanimation . I'll be showing some films and selling some books. 11th Feb from 7PM. Check out the website for tickets.
Here’s a showcase of some of our favourite Ziggy moments ✨
Over a three-month period, the creative teams at @mothanimation and @zoe brought Ziggy to life, infusing the character with playful, child-like energy that feels warm and full of personality. From bursts of excitement and joyful celebration to gentle, intuitive gestures, every movement is designed to spark delight, guide interaction, and celebrate user achievements. Turning small moments into rewarding experiences!

Here’s some character exploration and development from our @zoe collaboration. We were tasked with designing Ziggie: a cute, approachable, and knowledgeable guide to support app users on their gut health journey. Our starting point was organic shapes inspired by gut microorganisms, with a clear focus on keeping the design friendly and appealing and avoiding anything that felt gross or unsettling when referencing bacteria or guts. Check it out!

New Year - New You!
Kicking off the year with healthier habits? Last year we had the pleasure of working with the team at @zoe on content for their app v2.0, perfect timing for anyone setting fresh New Year’s resolutions.
In collaboration with their in-house creative team we designed and brought to life Ziggie, a cute and sparky character that guides users through their gut health journey.
We built interactive animations with @rive.app and designed a microbiome garden to explore which helps bring the science to life and infuses the in-app experience with playfulness and character.
Here is a little summary video of some of that work!
