My name is Lee Hall
I’m the one who does most of the production work, designing, animating and rendering. And if you’re emailing us, I’m probably the one you’re talking to.
I’m a husband to an awesome wife and father to two amazingly mad boys. We live in a house full of books, musical instruments and lego with a noisy black cat named Jake in County Durham…if you’re not sure exactly where that is, it’s somewhere far above London. I work from my house in a home office.
I have a beard and am often found writing lists in a small notebook with a pencil. I like to draw and paint strange things. I’m a baker and I make nice sourdough loaves and fairly decent baguettes. I love cooking Italian food and reading old books. I’m a fan of Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories, Edgar Allen Poe and Hunter S. Thompson. I love music and I’ve been a faithful follower of Pearl Jam since the early ’90s. Sometimes I try to play the guitar.
An average day for me is waking up, moving a few feet to the coffee machine, then another few feet to my office. Sometimes I write scripts, sketch ideas, draw storyboards, write things on lists, cross things off lists, animate things, eat lunch and send lots of emails.
I’m very lucky that I usually love what I do for a living and get to do it at home.
My name is Jemimah Hall
‘Behind every great man…’
I’m the other half of the Lost Marble team, you won’t find me communicating directly with you very often, but I’m usually involved in what’s being said.
I’m the wife of a very awesome husband, and no, I haven’t been paid to say that! I also had something to do with the two amazing boys we share. A few years ago I left my job as a teacher to spend more time with the family and help out more with the business. We also home educate our boys, so our weeks are filled with museum trips, French lessons and scientific experiments, with lots of baking, drawing and reading thrown into the mix.
Lee and I share a love of reading and of anything artistic, so downtime is a good book with a side of chocolate, or sketching with my Kuretake drawing pens. We moved into our old Victorian terraced house last year, and much of my spare time is spent renovating and decorating at the moment.
My background is in English literature, and my pedantic nature along with my experience as a teacher makes me an annoying but necessary addition to the business. I am usually the one who will write the base script, and/or will edit and proofread existing scripts or text being used in the video. I am also Lee’s first editor, as we will go through scenes and storyboards together, coming up with ideas for styles and stories as well as the research behind what the client wants and what their product or service is or does.
We love working together and make a good team.
