Here are some highlights from a recent BBC Bitesize suite of animations we did about Northern Irish visual artists. We had a lot of fun researching, writing and animating these wonderfully talented people across a range of media. Artists included Deborah Brown, Neil Shawcross, Rita Duffy and Array Collective to name a few!

We worked with the talented folks at Daily Madness last year on their Cartoon Forum pitch for Fluff and Fury - a TV series about surly 3D sheep Fluff and sunny 2D street-fighter Chuck Fury, trying to live their best lives while searching for their perfect video game.
In this mixed 2D/3D animation style we were brought on board to model, rig and animate Fluff to fit with Daily Madness' wonderful 2D world!

We're very pleased to announce our next short film, an animated 3D musical supported by the Northern Ireland Screen and BFI Network Creative Animation Scheme. The Ghost Next Door follows the story of music-lover Art, who just wants to be everybody's friend. The only catch? He's a ghost.

The Ghost Next Door will be written and directed by Taunt producer, Grace Loughrey, and will be released next year. We'll be sharing some behind the scenes bits from production in the meantime, so keep an eye out! 👻🎹

We're very nearly at the end of production on our 3rd short film, Animus, so we thought it'd only be fair to share a teaser! Animus is the creation of director/animator Dan Wilson, and is supported by Northern Ireland Screen and BFI Network through the Creative Animation Scheme.

Did you catch the Our Place in Space sculpture trail in L/Derry and Belfast? Here are some heckin' cute 3D assets we made from Oliver Jeffers beautiful illustrations for the interactive AR app to accompany the walking trail. Hard to pick a favourite but we're vibing on the penguin!
Huge props as always to the amazing teams we worked with on the Nerve Centre lead project for unboxed2022, including (https://m.facebook.com/pages/category/Web-Designer/Big-Motive-104551108089545/) , Stephen Smartt and Yellow Design.
The walking trail has migrated to Cambridge but you can still check out the AR app from the comfort of your home if you can't make it there!
