This is a road safety video about flower named Flora who finds herself alone in a run down wasteland. But not all hope is lost for her as she spots a flower filled utopia. The only obstacle in her way is single road. This film is about Floras journey to the other side of the road, to reach “Sunny Meadows”, however there are a few more obstacles in her way than she thought.

Hey, im Oliver Keppie. I’m a UK,Sheffield based animator currently attending Sheffield Hallam University. I specialize in 2D animation and have a love for the old rubber hose style animation of the 1930s. As a result of my passion for rubber hose I will be using this style in my first animated film names “Floras Guide to Road Safety”. From the intro card to the voiceover, everything will be 1930s-1940s esc. I got into animation at a young age as I started off creating small flip books and animations on my DS at the time. Unfortunately I never had the chance to start animating properly until my start at university. As soon as I started my 3 year course I knew in the back of my head that I would be using the rubber hose style of animation for my final film. My focus within this film is nailing the visual style and making sure the audience can have a laugh.
