It struck me some time ago that children who have grown up in the last decade have a more intuitive grasp of image making and new media than the rest of us, so I was delighted when the Trustees of Belhaven Hill, a prep school in East Lothian, agreed with my suggestion that we could make a more interesting portrait of the school if we saw it through the childrens' eyes.
I brought in the gifted documentary maker, Tracey Fearnehough, who specialises in working with children and over eight months we worked with the pupils in year one to make a 15 minute film, of which this is the title sequence. It was conceived and written by the children themselves, and realised with the help of Tracey, award wining animator Christina Ertze and editor Ling Lee.
