Beneath the Loch is a multimedia heritage show I wrote and animated for a visitor attraction in the Scottish Highlands. At the time, I was working for a company called Farmer Studios - the whole project was an intensely collaborative affair using the amazing talents of the entire team there.

The show used triptych video, surround-sound and animatronics to tell the story of a young otter who embarks on a quest into the depths of Loch Lomond to find the lost village of Camstradden. On the way, the otter plunges through a whirlpool of history and myth, finally discovering the Guardian of the Loch, who collects "all the stories that run down the glens and into the loch".
