Broadcast

To a child’s imagination, anything is possible. We like to make that our brief. We’ve written, directed and produced series and 1-off TV specials that circumnavigate the globe and beyond. A school for alien children, a physics-based gameshow, a girl who lives inside an encyclopaedia, a 10-year-old youtuber and his know-it-all robot, a manic newsreader from the 1970s – it’s all in there.

Making content for children and young people is great. We work closely with BBC Learning to create off-beat programmes for their Bitesize platform, and we’ve directed short-form specials for E4 and BBC3. Much of it ends up on-demand and Youtube, because kids go everywhere and anywhere to watch the stuff they want.

What we love in all this is the variety – 2D animation with Thunderbirds-style live action close-ups, green screen shenanigans with shoestring SFX, a puppet within a mixed media environment, 3D animation using motion capture and virtual production, parody, collage, stop motion, the whole kit and kaboodle.
