Stories, thoughtfully told.
The Little Wild Ones is a digital storytelling studio helping museums and organisations find engaging ways to bring stories, ideas and collections to life.
Our background is in animation, design and visual communication, but our approach starts long before production. We take time to understand the story, the audience and what you want people to take away, then find the right way to tell it.
Today, we're also developing new approaches to digital storytelling for museums, combining research, creative thinking and practical experimentation to explore how stories can build deeper connections with collections.
Our Approach
We start by understanding, not making.
Before deciding what something should look like, we look at the story, the audience and what the project needs to achieve.
We then shape the narrative and explore the most effective way to tell it - whether that's animation, film, interactive media or a combination of approaches.
The aim is simple: create work with a clear purpose that people can understand, remember and connect with.
What We Do
We use storytelling, design and digital media to help organisations communicate, engage and connect with their audiences.
