Stan Can
Series Director // Series 1 // 2022 to 2024
52 x 7 Minute 2D Animated Preschool series for BBC Studios Kids and Family and iGeneration. Production completed at Mackinnon and Saunders.
Meet Stan, an upbeat, unbeatable Hamster with a 'Can Do' attitude. He's always happy to help, whatever the job whatever the time.
Currently available in the UK through BBC iPlayer well as internationally.
As the series director, I oversaw all departments with multiple department heads reporting directly to me as well as multiple individual contributors, including internal, external and third party independents.
Responsibilities included but not limited to script consultation/review, music and sound briefs/consultation, storyboard briefs and direct management of storyboard/edit departments, design, animation, compositing and post production briefs and reviews. Additionally, I was a core contributor to the development and tone of the show, helping to adapt it from picture book to screen.
The series was delivered in full, to budget and on time early 2024. The first half of the series is available here:
