'Coalition of the Willing' is a collaborative animated film and web-based event about an online war against global warming in a 'post Copenhagen' world.

‘Coalition of the Willing’ has been Directed and produced by Knife Party, written by Tim Rayner and crafted by a network of 24 artists from around the world using varied and eclectic film making techniques. Collaborators include some of the world’s top moving image talent, such as Decoy, World Leaders and Parasol Island.

The film offers a response to the major problem of our time: how to galvanize and enlist the global publics in the fight against global warming. This optimistic and principled film explores how we could use new Internet technologies to leverage the powers of activists, experts, and ordinary citizens in collaborative ventures to combat climate change. Through analyses of swarm activity and social revolution, 'Coalition of the Willing' makes a compelling case for the new online activism and explains how to hand the fight against global warming to the people.

Design & Direction for a series of 10 idents for the Toon Disney Channel in Scandinavia.

Following research into the popularity of craft activities amongst Scandinavian children, we created a hand-made 'Toon' City constructed entirely from paper, cardboard and included hand-stitched detailing.

10 stories were created by sifting through hours of rotoscopable footage of characters that appear on the Channel. These shots were then combined to form narratives for the 10 different stories.

Based on these edits, we created cardboard settings for the rotoscoped characters to be composited into. Bringing together animated characters that would normally never meet, by taking them out of their familiar situations and bringing them to a common setting.

The sets were built and shot at Clapham Road Studios.
