Dorset Cereals Commercial

Commissioned by Nexus Productions to create 18 woodland characters for Dorset Cereals' first ever TV Commercial. I crafted each of the little fellas by hand, each creature is made from in 100% British lambs wool. I made their accessories out of a variety of materials such as leather, faux fur and jersey.

The 30 second advert is an animated live action hybrid film set in a Dorset woodland. My handmade animals wake up to the sound of Dorset AM - a radio station run by a small blue bird called Mike and a squirrel called Colin.

I worked closley with Director Conor Finnegan and the team at Nexus Productions to bring his characters to life in all their knitted glory. We shot the commercial over two days at Clapham Road Studios.
