Untold Tales
Producer
Animate Projects and Anim18 commissioned six micro-shorts for the Anim18 programme – a UK-wide celebration of British animation. The commissioned animators are: Jessica Ashman, Leo Crane, Ian Gouldstone, Anushka Kishani Naanayakkara, Osbert Parker & Laurie Hill, and Kate Sullivan.
Each animator brings their distinctive voice and animation style to these bitesize treats. Across the six films pixilation, hand drawn, digital, stop motion, charcoal, and cut-out animation techniques have been employed. The joy of the craft of animation that these films encapsulate aims to serve as inspiration for the viewer.
Working in collaboration with other creative talents and a range of subjects, the animators reflect on the collective and individual experiences of people living in the UK today. They are playful, joyful, and eye-catching gems, designed to be discovered in the viewer’s Instagram feed, that they will want to share, repost, like, and comment on.
Listen to the makers speaking at an event at LUX on 27 January 2019.
