Soil

Heather Gretton
How important is soil to our survival, and to the stability and equilibrium of our fragile environment?
Another great opportunity to work in a traditional animation style. Heather's character design and graphics influenced by traditional folk art, really grounded this film - pun intended. These films allow us to tell important stories about the natural world. How much carbon is locked into soil that is being eroded is something we didn’t know before starting the project. Wonderful to learn from and be helped by top experts in the field along the way.
