Lorna has previously produced a series of promotional animations for Manchester City Football Club, working alongside a fellow animator, and helped create a series of hand-drawn animations to promote Melbourne City Football Club.
Having been selected for Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year 2018, Lorna travelled to Broadstairs Beach for filming in the intense summer sunshine and heat.
She admitted she was nervous to start with, as filming started under shelters on the sand.
