Why People Go Bald Animation
Whether you're bald as a cue-ball or weird as an odd-ball, you have to admire the zany dreaminess of young Rhys Nicholson's unusual Share a Story winning tale...

The illustrations and character designs were, as with so many of the Share a Story animations, created by my old boss and master crayon-wielder Carl Hadley.
I worked on this crinkly paper-style After Effects animation with the inimitable Waldemar Werbel (who inspired the facial hair of at least one of the animated scalp-wizards). For all the time we worked one desk apart from each other, this is one of the few pieces that we made together, so it's got a special niche in my dessicated little freelance heart...
