Leeds based studio Northforge have written, animated and delivered a new film ‘Break the Cage’ for the charitable organisation International Animal Rescue.
The film, which utilises both 3D and more traditional line animation, is hoped to shed light on the situation faced by caged bears in Armenia, which the company said are illegally caught or trapped by poachers and used as tourist attractions.
The company engaged the services of Leeds-based composer Jamie Wright and sound designer Adam Nabarro- Steel, and a voiceover from actor Peter Egan.
On working with Northforge Tom Mumford, Digital Manager at International Animal Rescue said “Northforge have been a fantastic partner and a dream to work with from day one.
