Ever seen an animation storyboard and thought: "Wait, is this it?” 😳 Don’t worry, that rough sketch is just the beginning! Storyboards map out the key moments in a film - they’re not final! Peep our storyboard for @thre-equal.bsky.social vs the finished product 👇 mediaco-op.net/projects/thi...

Some of our favourite projects are the lo-fi ones - the ones with paper and pens and a whole lot of creativity ✏️ This #stopmotion animation was made with young carers from Argyll and Bute. They knew what they wanted to say - we're thrilled we were there to help them say it! 🌟

Breathe in, breathe out 😮‍💨 We made this guided meditation for RASASH (rasash.org.uk) back in 2022 - a great example of how animation can be used for more than just explainers and cartoons. #InternationalSelfCareDay
