Goat’s Rue
by Katie Marshall 2018 - Stop-motion animation
"Getting everything out in the open, I finally breach the elephant in the room with my Dad… diabetes Type 2. An exploration of the past, present and future of diabetes Type 2 in our family opens both of our eyes up to the truths, but allows us to take away how we can work towards a better lifestyle because of it."

Energy
by Fabia Fowler 2108 - Paper animation
"This animation is about a little pink smudge, who knows a way to get a LOT more energy… healthy choices! Watch smudge pick healthy options, and see him master mind, body and soul with the help of his new found energy."
Fabia Fowler has created this work using paper animation, which meant taking a picture for every frame. At 12 frames per second, that means 1356 paper frames for this short cartoon!
