Broadcast

To the imagination, anything is possible. We like to make that our brief. We’ve written, directed and produced programmes for BBC NI, Bitesize, BBC Three and E4 - work that circumnavigates the globe and beyond. A school for alien children, a physics-based gameshow, a girl who lives inside an encyclopaedia, a 10-year-old YouTuber and his know-it-all robot, a manic newsreader from the 1970s. It’s all in there.

We’ve helped audio-led stories find their way onto screen too, transforming podcasts into visually rich formats with presenter-led storytelling, dramatic recreation, VFX, VP and a few carefully placed chills. This mix of approaches is what we love. 2D animation, green screen shenanigans with shoestring SFX, puppets in mixed media worlds, 3D animation using motion capture, parody, collage, stop motion, the whole kit and kaboodle. 

Some of it is for children. Some of it definitely is not. But all of it starts in the same place: a good idea, a strong visual approach and the belief that television should never feel beige.
