Gentle Nature is a short animation about a town in Ghana called New Koforidua.
It is based on a poem by Salford poet, Robin Graham, and features him attempting to get through his day alongside the 'wildlife' he encounters.

This was made as my Final Major Project studying National Diploma in Media at Runshaw College, Leyland, in the north of England, in 2007.
