Thought it would be good to reveal a little of the process going on behind the scenes. Here’s James at work in his studio, brining hand painted watercolour art back to animation.
The process starts with storyboards which both James and I have contributed too. Here are James and I reviewing layout plans, before James commits to breaking up layers and painting backgrounds. While most of our animation production is virtual, working with a team across the country, James and I working as a bubble family has really helped this core stage of pre-production conception.

And here’s the result - a magnificent, background watercolour painting, brimming with atmosphere from the hand of a skilled artist.
