NARRATIVE ANIMATION
THE BIGGER TRIP
ITV
/ Woo Agency
/ Bullion Productions
We animated behind vast sections of their documentary about psychedelics. Needless to say this was a dream project.
Synopsis
In a three-part series for ITV-backed channel @feelgoodwoo, we’re looking at how and why today’s younger generations are choosing to interact with these mighty substances 🍄 and learning about their potential to alter your mind.
Mixed Media
A combination of generative visuals & hand drawn cell animation which were then composited.

ENNIO-A-GOGO
M.W.B
In "Ennio-a-GoGo", we wanted to take the viewer into another dimension, one where no one takes themselves too seriously.
Synopsis
Musician M.W.B's concept is borne of a remixed scene from “The adventures of Mark Twain, 1985” a seminal stop motion “claymation” by Will Vinton studios.
The narrative follows a group of curious inhabitants who greet the camera and take the viewer on a tour of the realm. The mischievous party encounter royalty on their journey and are swiftly brought to heel.
Mixed Media
The surreal landscape of bright colours and amorphous shapes by hand crafting miniature sets to echo Twain’s world.
