My work
Below is a small selection of my work. Just click on an image to view.
As much of my work is for internal communications, I can’t showcase everything I’d like to. If there’s a specific theme or style you’re curious about that’s not featured here, don’t hesitate to contact me. If I haven’t covered it, I’m sure I’ll have covered something similar!
We Own It: Campaign Compilation
Adam Pelling-Deeves 2024
We Own It campaigns for public ownership and against privatisation. These social media videos were produced in the run up to the 2024 General Election and into the early days of the new Labour government. They highlight the benefits of public ownership and the failure of privatisation in order to support We Own It’s ongoing campaign of holding politicians to account. Due to the rapidly shifting political landscape, each of these simple animations were produced in a day – 24 hours from script to upload.

Edited for PixandStory 2023

Winner of Best Editing at Film Buzz Festival London 2024, Best Art Film at Screaming Droid Film Festival 2023 and First Film at Earl’s Court International Film Festival 2023, and received an honourable mention at Purbeck Film Festival 2023. The production process for this experimental animated poem was to print out an edit of the performance, doodle on the frames and then scan them back into a sequence. Lit with a flashlight and made with a household printer/scanner and felt tips, this was a £0 budget labour of love with chaos as a welcome factor!
