Ned

Written, Directed and Animated
by Sharon E Sørensen

Dr W E Barnie (Ned) (1896-1983), was a secondary school Chemistry teacher living and working in Portobello, Edinburgh. He was also a world record breaking open water swimmer.

Ned had first swam the channel in 1950, taking part in the inaugural Daily Mail sponsored race, when on the 23rd August, 13 days after his 54th birthday, he became the oldest man ever to have completed the swim. In this narrative based documentary, we focused on the 1951 English Channel racing season, when, at 55 and 6 days, Ned set out to become the first Scot and the oldest man to swim the channel both ways, in one season.

The entire film was made on an iPad with the drawing app Procreate, which meant dealing with some tricky workflows.

We are delighted that Ned has screened in festivals all over the globe, picking up multiple semi-finalist places and even a couple of awards (Best Animation World of Film: Film Festival and Berlin Shorts) along the way.
