LIFEBABBLE ON CBBC

Here’s a cool thing that me and the amazing guys at Beakus have been working on before christmas.  I directed the stop- motion titles and branding for the show, which was nice working with actual real things, and try out some mental replacement animation.  More information on the show here: http://www.beakus.com/lifebabble-on-cbbc/  and if you’re in the UK you can check it out on BBC iplayer
