Studio Projects:

-Doctor Who: The Macra Terror (a Doctor Who animated restoration):
Due to a significant gap in the BBC archives there are currently 97 lost episodes of Doctor Who. Original scripts and telesnaps (photographs taken of the TV as the show aired) exist, along with a few clips but most of the original footage is lost forever. Fortunately, as the show was being broadcast live avid fans at the time recorded the audio of these episodes through their televisions. After creating an initial animation test, Sun & Moon were commissioned by BBC Studios to help re-imagine The Macra Terror, a missing four-episode serial of Doctor Who from 1967 starring Patrick Troughton as the Second Doctor.


-The Magic Music Room (for BBC Bitesize):
Sun and moon teamed up with BBC Bitesize to create this ten episode series to teach KS1 kids about music. The brief immediately captured their imagination as it was set to feature a host of musical legends like Bach, Beethoven, Nina Simone and Elvis with an original song and recordings from the BBC Philharmonic orchestra.


-"Life is Strange" Nintendo Switch release trailer:
With the much loved and critically acclaimed series Life is Strange releasing on Nintendo Switch, Square Enix wanted to treat fans to a nostalgic animated teaser. Sun and moon jumped aboard and immediately shared the vision to give old and new fans alike a feast for the eyes.
