About the project

Working freelance for The Guardian, I was tasked with creating various animated scenes for their comment is free series; a selection of videos that explore a whole variety of topics. The example shown above was just one of the comment is free videos, stills from others are listed below.

Each video has a unique style, sometimes fully animated, other times combining still imagery or footage with motion design elements - each one was a new challenge.

Rewilding the planet with freelance animation and motion design

We've only got one planet, and right now it needs all the help it can get. Climate change and biodiversity loss are massive challenges that we need to tackle head on.

That's why, for every freelance animation project over £1000 a donation of 1% of the total budget will be made to the World Land Trust, on your behalf.

The money will go towards WLT's "buy an acre" programme; buying up and protecting vital habitats around the world, and helping fight against climate change.

Any motion design projects under £1000 will have a tree planted on your behalf.

Acres saved so far:

Thanks to my wonderful clients and the animations we've produced, enough money has been donated to save around:

17.5 Acres of vital habitats around the world.

Just think, your animated explainer video or logo animation could also be helping fight the climate crisis!
