It's a little off topic, but another two passions of mine are sustainable solutions to global poverty and stop motion animation. This week had the chance to combine the two and make this film for CARE Australia.
This little animation sparked from the saying so many of us heard growing up "Finish your food! There are people in other countries who are starving!". It seems some people still think sending food overseas is a good way to solve hunger. It only solves it until the food is gone and then people are hungry again. Silly. Growing food, wherever you are and whoever you are, is the best way to ensure you've always got something to eat.
You'll be pleased to know that that is free-range chicken I animated. And true to my commitment to not throw food out, I ate that squashed up food that comes out of the envelope once I was finished filming it. Yum.
