Chinese Straight

SBS approached me to visualise one of their audio pieces from their series ‘True Stories’. The podcast had been developed with narration, music and sound design. I came on board to create a digital blog-style story with a combination of still illustration and three animated segments. You can see the full story on the SBS website.

Client: SBS
Role: Animation development and production / Illustration
Credits: Story and narration by Maxine Beneba Clarke, music by James Cecil, produced by Kylie Bolton
Story: The play ground pecking order made Lord of the Flies seem like tea-party play. Among the girls, it was Looking for Alibrandi meets Hating Alison Ashley meets Puberty Blues. Not an easy place for a book-geek black girl like me. Every even girl was an Allison, Kylie, Kelly. I was Maxine.
