Celebrating Liverpool's 800 Year History through Animation

To celebrate Liverpool's 800th anniversary, this special version of Fluxtime Studio was freely available during 2007 to all Schools, Colleges, Libraries and Community groups in Liverpool and the Merseyside. Unfortunately we were not able to secure funding beyond 2007 and now need to charge a fee in order to keep the website running.   → If you'd like to sponsor us please get in touch:
