About this project

This project was a short video featuring transgender and gender diverse children and children with queer parents, talking about their experiences at school and what they'd like to see change.

The video was created for Inside Out, who are a national charity providing resources, information, workshops, consulting and support for anything concerning rainbow or LGBTQIA+ issues and education for schools, workplaces and community organisations.

I was responsible for the storyboarding, illustration and animation.

Client feedback

“It was a delight working with Chris to make an animated video for our organisation. Chris spoke to us in detail about what we needed and seemed to intuitively understand our requirements. He has a lovely manner and showed empathy and insight in matching up our goals to an artistic vision. He clearly explained the process for each review stage and kept to our tight timeframes for finishing the work. He was really responsive to adjustments we wanted to make as the work evolved. The resulting animation was beautiful, captivating, charming and hit just the right tone - we couldn’t imagine a better outcome based on our brief. We are really delighted. It was a real pleasure working with Chris and we highly recommend him!”
