CONCRETE JUNGLE

A short stop-motion documentary about the diversity of Londoners. Everyone from all various backgrounds comes together in one city, just like taxidermied animals in a museum, species never imagined to be beside one another. Step behind the glass and hear London's feathery and fuzzy locals and how they feel about being a Londoner.

Ideation
London is renowned as one of the most multicultural cities in the world. People from all sides of the globe come together in one city—inspired by the animal taxidermies in the Horniman Museum, where species from all parts of the Earth you never imagined to be side by side can be found in one place. InterviewWe interviewed a diverse range of Londoners, and asked them about London, the good and the bad, what makes London, and advice for people who have just started living in London. At the end of each interview, we asked them if they were an animal, what would they be; their answer became their animal identity in the documentary.
