  • New Showreels and a Revamp

    After finishing DuckManBoy, and other projects we can’t chat about yet, we thought it was time to finally make a showreel. It’s also been about 5 years since starting production on Man In A Cat. Since then we’ve created stuff for Channel 4, Nickelodeon, BBC Comedy and Oxfam, and worked with some amazing people in…

  • Skwigly Advent Calendar

    We’ve had Ross Butter in the studio for the last few weeks animating on DuckManBoy. As he was leaving we collaborated on a heart (and lung) warming Christmassy GIF for Skwigly Magazine’s Advent Calendar. I think it was the first time I’ve ever jammed on the same scene with someone. It’s nice having a little idea…

  • Goodbye 2012, hello 2013

    We had a great year in 2012, so we thought it would be a good idea to look back on some of the things that happened for us at Dice Productions but also to look forward and provide a preview of things to come from us this year. Let’s kick things of with the best…

It’s now been nominated for a Children’s BAFTA! It’s also had a decent festival life, having been screened at Atlanta, Chicago International, New York International. You can read more about…

  • First Light Movies “How To…”

    A few months ago we teamed up with Steven Spencer (aka Nice Monster) for a series of ‘How To…’ videos he was commissioned to do by First Light Movies. Ian did his magic on the scripts and I designed and animated the 2D doodle animations. BAFTA and Childline also decided to feature the videos as…

  • Man In A Cat Online

    After almost exactly a year of festivals, a smattering of awards and a photo with Barry From Eastenders, Man In A Cat has finally popped its head out of the internet! It’s also been released on Future Shorts’ YouTube Channel where it’s gathered some nice comments already. Now that everybody in the world can see the…
