This project aims to utilise the medium of animation to uncover novel ways to communicate the important contribution of geodiversity to a range of Protected Site Strategies (PSS) projects with a view to supporting PSS initiatives across England. Four to five (depending on cost) 'animation episodes' will be produced focussed on different PSS aspects, viewable either independently or sequentially, to tell our geological story - the story of nature through time, where we have come from, where we are now, and where we are going. We envisage that there will be a common narrative thread and visual style weaving through each animation, utilising distinctive narration through regional/local voices to further develop the connections to place. The successful contractor should have access to/be able to present a range of illustrative styles at the initial meeting to choose from as well as a range of sound artists to read the scripts. It is anticipated that this project will start on October 21st 2025 and would need to be completed by 29th March 2026.
