One of the awesome things about our work is the places it takes us, we still cant release much details but we were given some new opportunities earlier this year.

We were asked to supply our Ants and other animals for a Netflix and paramount production, of course this has opened up many more doors and opportunities since.

We will release more info probably next year when things begin to air, as these things take time. But here's a couple of pics from one of our first shoots.
