Life Inside ‘Islamic State’
info
Spread over five animated diary entries, “Life Inside ‘Islamic State'” documents an activist’s first hand experiences of the IS take over in Raqqa, Syria.
BBC Radio 4 Today programme’s team approached me with a story they had been working on for many months, and wanted animation to deliver the diaries of a Raqqa-based Syrian activist to the world. I helped taking the diaries into fully finished, hand painted animation, with the help of Ross on character animations, Dan composing the music and (the other) Dan on sound design.
