The Little Match Girl

The Little Match Girl

The story of The Little Match Girl tugs at the heartstrings. It is one of Hans Christian Andersen’s emotional tales of a poor girl selling matches but is ignored by everyone around her. She eventually uses the matches to keep herself warm and by striking a matchstick each time she is transported to an imaginary place where her life is better.

What a treat for Chocolate Tribe to have worked with the amazing team that included Director Kim Geldenhuys, Executive Producer Ashleigh Jarratt and Adam Bentel to reimagine this classic tale. Chocolate Tribe did the concept art, VFX, 3D, compositing and atmospherics.

Seal Team

By Film|Television

Trigger Fish
Seal Team

Seal Team is an adventure story of Quinn, a seal who enjoys lazying about in the sun, splashing up and down the coastal waters of Cape Town. The highlight of his days are spent dodging and diving away from the Great White Sharks who will happily have him for breakfast. In these perilous waters, he decides to take his power back.

So Quinn recruits a ragtag team of likeminded seals brave, stupid and crazy enough to try and teach those sharks a lesson — once and for all. Jaws will drop!

We celebrate our Executive Creative Director, Rob van den Bragt and Executive Technical Director who were part of the rigging team.
