We placed the creative decisions in the hands of our followers and the wider community. This was by creating a range of designs for backgrounds, characters and colour variations which the public could vote upon. We asked the community questions about their perceptions of homeless people, scouted common locations, and worked out the best story possible to provide knowledge on how to help the homeless!
What comes together is a really nice collage of ideas, influences and styles, using humour and emotion to to bring together very disparate hand-drawn animated styles into a singular vision, shaped by the people of Norwich and beyond.
We have a new film for you this Friday! Directed by Finley Geen and commisioned by Aylsham picture house, Aylsham (or Al-Shum) is our most recent short film, and one that we're very proud of. Using archive pictures to build a picture of the past, the team brought history to life with movement, and showed how our pasts shape our community.
Behind the scenes pictures and concept art will be up on the site this week! If you enjoyed the film, give it a share, it would help us out a lot.
