So, over the last few months I've been finishing up on directing and animating a little film for Entrepreneur Impet called 'The Fox and the Owl'. It's a little Aesop's fable-esq film to explain all about their coaching method and what exactly coaching is.
I jumped at the chance to create this as the story was so interesting and my mind was flooded with inspiration and thoughts on the design. A few brainstorming sessions later we came up with a few rough sketches of the fox and the owl and it was full steam ahead. In terms of the overall style I thought back to cartoons such as Winnie The Pooh and Animals of Farthing Wood to get inspiration. They created such warm, cosy worlds to inhabit their characters and thats what I wanted to achieve here.
I love the result of the fox and the owl and how it all came together with the help of a great team. When the voiceover came through at the beginning of the project I was chomping at the bit to get started. The voiceover artist, Matt Simandl, did an amazing job and really bought the characters to life before I'd even put pencil to paper. With any luck we should all be working on the follow up next year so fingers crossed.
