  Life on Mars?Is there life on Mars? NASA have sent Curiosity on a long journey to reach Mars and analyse the surface for any signs of life. What will Curiosity find and will it bring us one step closer to understanding the universe? This short film attempts to bring humour to the world of science whilst exploring the possibility that we could one day enjoy life on Mars with some interesting species.
• The way we workI had the pleasure of working closely with Bundle Training to develop two animations explaining how the methods of consuming content in our personal and professional lives have changed. These animations act as a conversation starter to highlight their services as content creators both in and out of the workplace.
