What Our Clients Say

“The original choice to use animations came from the simple line drawings in the novel of Stuart: A Life Backwards, and we felt that the most natural way of including the feeling of these within a screenplay would be as animation. However, as we were all fairly inexperienced with animation, until we started using them we had no idea how much they would affect the film. We approached Knifedge because we admired their work on Sunday in the Park with George, but were pleasantly surprised when we realised the full extent of their experience and the many different areas in which it lies, for example, Timothy’s work with the BBC. Timothy Bird and Sam Buntrock brought an intuitive level of understanding to the animations that I don’t feel we would have found anywhere else. We were really pleased by their willingness to embrace an idiosyncratic brief with such enthusiasm. The animations allowed us to portray some very dark moments with real impact, but without losing the lightness of tone and humour within the book"
