Welcome to the Rock Opera blog!
Rock Opera is an 8 minute children's animated film that will be made in 2011 by Hoda Productions. In the film, our plucky protagonist Sarah takes a wrong turn on Salisbury Crags and finds herself transported back in time to meet geologist James Hutton who teaches her about the importance of rocks and of conserving the environment.
The idea was conceived by Conrad Molleson, whose passion for all things rock like spurred him to tell the story of Scottish geologist James Hutton's groundbreaking discoveries through animation, making the origins of geoscience accessible and fun for schoolchildren. Hoda Productions has a track record of working with and for young people to produce creative responses to the environment and we are very excited to have the opportunity to make this film. The film is supported by Rider-French Ltd and Arts and Business Scotland.
