Sledge Fact Studio: The Animation Guys The Mission We were commissioned to create a 2D animated video to raise awareness about climate change and its impact, aiming to educate and inspire action.
My Role
Creative Lead
Motion designer
Collaborating with the in-house team at TAG
Creative Approach
I created a clean, soft, and rounded graphic style featuring bold, easy-to-read typography and vibrant elements paired with real photographs to emphasise that we were discussing real topics. The animations were smoothly grounded, enhancing the narrative rather than detracting from it.

Why This Project Mattered
Climate communication is often heavy, the challenge was to make hard-hitting facts digestible, not overwhelming. These videos needed to be sharp, punchy, and digestible for a digital audience, particularly younger viewers tuning in during COP26.
What Made It Stand Out
Seamlessly translated facts into motion, keeping the visuals dynamic but highly accessible
Designed within a tight visual brand while keeping each video fresh and trendy
Managed high-speed turnaround while maintaining clarity and intent
I enjoy the challenge of taking complex topics and simplifying them without losing nuance — a skill I now bring to every impact-driven animation I take on.
