CHARITY

The Sheffield Children's Hospital Charity

Finger Industries are proud to have been involved in Herd of Sheffield, an initiative from The Children’s Hospital Charity and Wild in Art which has seen businesses, communities, artists and schools creating over 50 elephants to be exhibited across Sheffield city during the summer of 2016.

Sheffield Children’s Hospital is very close to our hearts and coupled with our work in the Children’s media industry, we naturally jumped at the chance to support the Charity by designing and sponsoring our very own elephant.

The stampede takes place till October in the biggest public art event Sheffield has ever seen. Not only did we create our own teaser for Herd & Bird, above- to help promote the event, we also created this 2d short for the charity too.  

All the funds raised from the elephant auction after the trail will also go towards a life-saving piece of equipment that will make a huge difference to young patients and their families. Funds from sponsorship will go to Artfelt

Team effort

From design, to 3d printing, animation and painting our elephant, the whole studio has in one form or another contributed to this project. It's been great to see the public response, with engagement across twitter, facebook and Instagram active during the event.
