An English Classic

Production

Director/animator Tim Fernée writes: 'Before the script, or programme proposal, comes the concept. To all intents and purposes the concept is an illustrated essay making the case to the Channel 4 Commissioning Editor for a contemporary animation treatment of this classic medieval tale. This essay describes how the story might be told in animated form and how image and language might be designed to work together.'
