Brief Synopsis in English

Animal Crackers series 1 is a collection of twenty-six one minute children's wildlife interstitials. With a creative blend of motion graphics and footage this series lends itself to cross platform delivery. Each interstitial highlights some amazing facts on a particular animal species, giving young viewers an insight into what's on their menu, where they like to hang out, how they get around, and a few other quirky facts. Both factual and entertaining - these interstitials are a wild action-packed, fact-filled one-minute adventure! A great introduction to Natural History for 8-12 year olds.

Reason for submission in English

This collection of 26 interstitials has been produced solely using stock footage. A number of renown wildlife collections are featured in these interstitials, all from the Absolutely Wild Visuals library. AWV’s philosophy of “driving content further” initiated the idea to create new markets for their copyright owner’s footage. Combined with creative graphics and suitable audio, this is a fine example of where superior stock footage has advanced to become exciting, factual and entertaining viewing for Children.

This archive formed the basis of a unique look at a remarkable man.

Brief Synopsis in English

Game Over: Conservation in Kenya looks at the changing face of conservation in Kenya and explores the impact of both colonial and contemporary initiatives, as well as how they affect the peoples who have traditionally lived off the land. It is a conflict between old and new, human versus wildlife. Fortunately for humans and non-humans alike, there are some Africans who have devoted much of their lives to efforts to resolve these fundamental conflicts.

Reason for submission in English

Several challenges presented on Game Over, one being to locate specific shots of wildlife in a High Definition format that would blend nicely with our HD original shoot material. Script and interview clips called for very specific visuals ie: Richard Leakey's personal stories of the lion and the leopard, Dame Sheldrick's story of Eleanor the elephant returning home and a very powerful clip of William Ntimama's remarks about Leakey's plane crash. Extensive research for stock footage of life in colonial Kenya was unsuccessful… eventually leading to the creative use of feature film clips from Where No Vultures Fly.
