Save Surrey’s Nature Campaign 2025: selected stills from a live animated project raising awareness for the endangered species and habitats of Surrey.
I spent time analysing archive footage in slow motion to observe how species like the Nightjar or Sand lizard move and interact with their respective environments. I began by taking my sketchbook out into some of Surrey’s protected areas to create reference drawings and paintings of different landscapes. The animation itself was drawn digitally frame by frame and then coloured with hand painted textures.

A key focus of the animation was on endangered species and habitats of Surrey like the White-tailed bumblebee, Lesser Spotted Woodpecker and Harvest mouse.
