Our latest showreel featuring a bunch of fun projects we've worked on recently (and a couple from the archive).

Trees arenât just for Christmas. They suck the CO2 out of the sky and give us oxygen! How cool is that?!
So, aside from all the fun projects this year, we started growing real trees with the help of Ecologi
Weâre going to focus on what we do and leave the actual tree growing to people who know what they're doing.
Our contribution is small, but itâs a start.
If youâre looking to plant some trees, hit this link and we both get 30 trees for our respective forests!

To all the brilliant, creative and lovely people weâve had the fortune to work with this year (too many to name) - it has been a wild ride and an absolute privilege - thank you!
Have a wonderful holiday and a happy new year. Hereâs to a tree-filled 2022!

We love playing with LEGO in the studio! So it was an absolute pleasure to work on their Arts & Crafts campaign earlier this year.
The campaign used six films in multiple formats. LEGO Dots, Classic bricks, and a range of sets create a kaleidoscope of colour.
Stop motion #animation was used to bring the bricks to life, where we see LEGO drip, splat and mould into shape.
Colour distinguishes the Arts and Crafts sets, and both were filled with materials, artworks and crafted objects.
Lit beautifully by Peter Ellmore. And set off to a fun musical composition by Peter Mauder.
Thanks to everyone who worked with us on this project, it was a lot of fun.
