    paper The Croissant Flavoured Candle

    Recently, I had the pleasure of collaborating on a project with Hot Wax, a Newcastle-based candle company known for their eco-friendly approach and delightful scents. They often partner with local businesses and engage in various collaborations.

    Hot Wax reached out to me to assist in developing a stop motion animation featuring their croissant-flavored candle. We began with a meeting at my studio to discuss concepts, brand values, and ethics. I then developed mood boards, gathered inspiration, and created initial storyboard ideas to align with their vision. Ultimately, we chose a classic picnic theme for the project. I received props, along with the candles and croissants, to incorporate into the shoot.

    The shoot was highly successful, and my clients were very pleased with the stop motion animation I produced, expressing their enthusiasm for the final result.
