He’s called Travel Man, he’s got a Travel Book and he’s found himself on the Travel Channel. The latest in our series of Little Journeys animations is now playing on televisions all around the world. A mix of stop motion, motion graphics, drawn animation and jiggery pokery. Watch him here.

New Food Network and Travel Channel Idents

Here’s our brand new one minute animation currently being shown on Food Network. Filmed on location in our fridge, it’s a story of love, death and tragedy in the mould of Romeo and Juliet – but with more olives. Also live now is our new one minute ident for the Travel Channel. Filmed in our studio with a team of very very small stop-motion actors.

Travel Channel Little Journeys

The four painstakingly miniature stop-motion films we made for the Travel Channel are now on air.
Each film covers a different area of the channel’s programming.
A man quits his job for adventure.  A DIY hungry van. A vintage racing Capri. And an eager holiday maker.

Innocent. Two Stop Motion Hat Animations

We made two stop motion films for Innocent last month. The first one has been performing well on social media with over 900,000 views in its first week. The second one has just gone up and is going down well too.
The aim is to get people knitting little hats for their annual Big Knit campaign for Age UK.

Tic Tacs. Cherry Mixers

Made using hundreds of pictures of cherries, touched up in Photoshop and made move in After Effects.
We scoured the country to find cherries that look edible in October. Watch it here.
For Aesop. Animation by Andrew (Dog). Lighting and camera by Nich (Mongoose). Sound design by Nigel (Jaguar).

Food Network. Hamburger Birth

Here is the first of four animations currently being shown on the Food Network.
We have imaginatively titled this film ‘Hamburger’, but it could just as easily have been called ‘Burger’.
Camera by Fu (Monkey) Lighting by Nich (Mongoose) Sound by Nigel (Jaguar) Animation by Andrew (Dog).

Scorism. Judo Grilletrope

#13. Penderel’s Oak. High Holborn. WC1. Mixed Grill.

Not many films are called Grilletrope these days. Watch it here.

This film stars Rexley, Roy and Bloodbag from Dog Judo.

The mixed grill isn’t Wetherspoon’s proudest moment and we should have given it a star lower actually. Never mind.
