Trees aren’t 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

We’re 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 it’s a start.

If you’re 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 we’ve 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. Here’s 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 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.

This set is from an animation we made for Only Natural Diamonds.

A true story about a fox who led geologists to a rich diamond deposit in a remote part of Siberia in 1955.

The discovery led to the diamond industry of Yakutia, and the city of Mirny being formed as well as a large conservation area where animals are still protected.

The snowy landscape was made from paper and photographed using .software. Motion controlled using and shot on a 5D.
