Untold Stories: Hair on Set
As a studio we were delighted to be approached to create animations for the brilliant documentary: Untold Stories: Hair on set.
The film discusses the UK film industry’s general approach to dealing with Black and mixed race actors having afro and curly textured hair.
​
Being a black owned studio, this was a subject close to our hearts.
​
The designs and concepts were created to reflect the scripts and subsequently our own personal experiences with managing natural afro and textured hair.
​
Significant amount of time was spent during development to ensure the character designs captured the likeness and approachability of the documentary ‘s host Fola Evans Akingbola.
​
The final animations supported the live action documentary to relay an important perspective from working as a black actor on set in modern day Britain.
