As the last April sun sets, here is a recent edit/animation piece we did for illustrator Caroline Tomlinson about why she loves spring. 🌸

Blind runner and punk Phil Harrison chatted with Nicky Campbell about the London Marathon on BBC 5Live this morning 🤪 Phil comes in (with a bang) at 1h46m 🤘😁

We’ve finally got a YouTube channel 😅 Gonna be uploading some films from our back catalog (that aren’t already on YouTube) over the next few weeks. youtube.com/@reubenandco...

We were very proud to win an award at Homegrown Shorts Film Festival this weekend. 🏆✨ MOST TIME SPENT IN THE SHED - the award for the film that feels like an individual or team has poured their heart into it. Perfect recognition for a DIY punk passion project like this. reubenand.co/phil

Love this quote so much 😍 “Infused with vivid colour of memory, raw energy of punk rock, and the sense of release found in running. A remarkably immersive and entertaining portrait that’s as much about irrepressible spirit as it is about perception.”

Absolutely thrilled to have our film featured in the brilliant Psyche Magazine @psyche.co Feels awesome that Phil’s story has crossed the pond and been spotted by a journo in New York 🤘🤪 psyche.co/videos/take-...

‘An Exercise in Perspective’ asks the question: what does the world look like when you lose your sight? Infused with vivid colour of memory, raw energy of punk rock, and the sense of release Harrison found in running, the film offers an immersive portrait of his irrepressible spirit and perception

Brilliant to have local MP @stevedarlingmp.bsky.social take timeout of his busy schedule to come along to our Paignton screening of An Exercise In Perspective Thank you to Paignton Picturehouse for hosting us. 🙌

If you’re in Paignton on Saturday, come and say hello. 👋 We’ll be at the Projection Room creative hub opposite Paignton Picturehouse, talking about our latest documentary short, fundraising for RNIB.

I watched this just before after Reuben appeared as a guest on the latest @theanfieldwrap.bsky.social free podcast - it is brilliantly made and well worth 10 or so short minutes of your time to watch.

The Anfield Wrap is a raucous party in the good seasons and a therapy session in the tough seasons. This season could still go either way! I’m a massive fan of everything they do so it was a real pleasure to chat to Neil this week. 🙌 Cheers @knoxharrington.bsky.social @theanfieldwrap.bsky.social

Also in the show Neil speak to Reuben Armstrong about his film ‘An Exercise in Perspective’, an experimental documentary and fundraising film, which follows the story of blind runner Phil Harrison. Watch for FREE 👉 bit.ly/4lcOBLm

Thanks to CHAOS Radio for having Reuben & Phil on the show this week to talk about our documentary short film ‘An Exercise In Perspective’.

Phil Harrison lost his eyesight following two separate events: an injury to his left eye as a teenager, followed by a cancer diagnosis in his right eye when he turned 60. This year Phil is running the London Marathon to raise money for the RNIB. @rnib.bsky.social @londonmarathon.bsky.social

2025 project wrap up thread 🎥🌅🎬🎞️

On the way, my phone had exploded. Klopp had seen the film and mentioned it in the press conference. 🤯 The way he looked to camera and thanked us! I played it to the pub that night on the big screen and it erupted. Everyone celebrated it like a goal. ❤️ I still feel emotional about this moment.

This is a very lovely thread. Take time to read it.

Great, heartwarming thread!

I was falling in love with this community and it was that word... 'LOVE'... that made me realise how we could help this story make waves. I cut a teaser/trailer in the summer of 2017 and pitched it to @theguardian.com... Brighton had just won promotion, so I knew the Reds were coming to town soon.

In the 2016-2017 season I would go down to Brighton with a camera and meet with one fan or family before each game, follow their pre-match routine, journey to the pub and then watch the game with them. Everyone had a story. There were scousers like Joe...

Liverpool v Brighton tomorrow. This fixture started a beautiful journey for me, so here's a thread on the story of... 🧵 THE BRIGHTON KOP

A new documentary from R&Co. Sound and vision very much intertwined on this one. Coming soon.

Testing a GIPHY gif on BlueSky. Annoying that there is only support for Tenor currently. It seems that it converts the GIF into a short video instead. 🤔 See more of our animated football work here: giphy.com/reubenarmstr...

What does ageing mean to you? You can now see the full film online, after our successful screenings at Lifelines: Rethinking Ageing exhibition in the Science Gallery London this summer. We’re proud to have been a part of this research project. ❤️ reubenand.co/rethinking-a...

If you have 2 minutes, please watch this lovely video by @reubenarmstrong.bsky.social based on the book 'Feeling Blue: Colour and the modern British hospital', we released the film today! www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5L2... (free link to the book in the post below)

📣 A few new projects up on the website! reubenand.co #filmmakers #videodesign #documentary #animation #director #mediaproduction

In addition to the animation we also produced a series of short documentaries showcasing the ways Family Hubs can support parents. Thank you to these two mums for sharing their stories, to fight the stigma & help others know how common these experiences are. youtu.be/s0M4mxI8294?...

We’ve just delivered this animation focused on perinatal mental health. It’s not uncommon to face struggles, but yet it’s also not talked about enough. Carefully written, voiced, drawn and animated by our team of talented creatives. 🙌

A researcher for BBC Studios found this amazing contact sheet from 1947 and so we were able to animate the earliest moving images of David Bowie. Born to be a star. ⚡️ Happy Friday.

This project combines two things I love... Sport and kinetic type! 😁 Let's write! 🚴‍♂️⚽️🏋️‍♂️🏀🧗‍♂️⛹️‍♀️🎾🤺🥊🏸🏹🏐🏊🏼‍♂️🏓🏇🤼‍♂️🚣🏻🤽🏻‍♂️🏑

Our 2024 Christmas film for Stockeld Park. Magical moments for all the family. 🎄 #xmas #crimbo #direction #filmmaking #yorkshire

We also reviewed global census data to make sure the diversity of the hands was representative of the planet! 🙌

Mad thing about this project is every letter of the alphabet was hand-drawn. Pencil and pen versions. Uppercase, lower case, punctuation, unique characters. And rigged so we could translate across the 6 official languages of the UN. 🤩

Little something from our archives. Animation for the United Nations. Beautiful music composed specially for this project by the Bower Brothers. ✨
