Northern iron

The New Iron Age

Art Design / Storyboards / Illustrator / Animator

One of the most idiosyncratic project I’ve ever worked on, ‘The New Iron Age’ was a series of videos produced to promote hot briquetted iron on behalf of Northern Iron Corporation. The allowed our young and ambitious team to create an ambitious, quirky, informative series of cartoons which were completely unlike typical mining explainer videos. A skeletal guitar music score was provided by local musician Alonzo Wang, and blues legend Jim Byrnes provided voice over.
