Angela Carter: Of Wolves And Women
BBC


Winner of the Professional Excellence, Craft Award for Graphics and Titling at The Royal Television Society Scotland Awards, 2019.

We created all the graphics and animations for the 1 hour BBC TWO documentary about distinctive, magic-realist author Angela Carter.

A dream project in many ways, using an 18th century tunnel book as the constant device across all the sequences, we created a ‘tunnel book’ for each of the books featured in the show - from the dark forests of ‘Bloody Chamber’ to the psychedelic world of 70’s Japan for ‘The Infernal Desire Machines of Dr. Hoffman’. We even managed a reference to pioneering stop-motion animator Lotte Reiniger for the monstrous sexual predators featured in ‘Sadeian Woman’.
