Famous and Fearless


For Channel 4's new celebrity challenge show, Famous and Fearless, LSM were asked to provide character design and animation for their play along live prediction game.

The brand new prime-time show features celebrities facing a series of urban and extreme sports challenges on live television. Contestants include Dame Kelly Holmes and rugby legend Jonah Lomu, alongside musicians, actors and adventurers.

We created unique winning and losing animations for every contestant, alongside tug of war animations for the prediction screen.


The game, which can only be played while challenges are being broadcast live on Channel 4, is integral to the show, with gamers predictions feeding directly into the broadcast to be analysed by the shows presenters, Chris Evans and Jack Osbourne.

Gaspard and Lisa


LSM spent much of last year helping Impossible TV and Chorion Silver Lining Productions create a brand new children's television series, Gaspard and Lisa. Comprising of 50 x 11'00" episodes, plus 1 x 22'00" special, the pre-school series is based on the Gaspard et Lisa books created by Anne Gutman and Georg Hallensleben.

The show follows the adventures of two six year-old best friends living in Paris, and is made in beautiful high-definition 3D animation, mixing paint textures with incredibly detailed locations to create a unique look.

Currently being broadcast on TF1 in France and in Japan, there are plans to take the show to many more countires, including the UK.
