A series of films made with James Rawlings.

 

Initially these were self-created films of a slightly more racy nature but were then loosely 'commissioned' by CBBC and thus re-written for a more child friendly audience.

 

I created the technique to be able to quickly make charming and beautiful films that had the writing and voicing to the fore. The approach flowered with the involvement of James with his writing and voicing (with the glorious Toby Longworth) and general top class comedy heads.

 

A number of ideas have been built around this namely versions of The Classics for BBC Learning.
