Who the hell are we and what the hell do we do?
My name is Robert Poller and I'm the Writer, Director and Animator of the Animated web series called Literally Hell. I graduated from Leeds Beckett University with a Bachelor of Arts in Animation in 2016. Ever since I've created my very own cartoon series called Literally Hell whilst working on some client based freelance animation work and a few part time jobs.
​
My goal is to carry on animating my own series Literally Hell and build it up as a full series. Ideally 10 full episodes ranging from 6 to 9 minutes long each. Not only that but I am also hoping to build a team of Animators and Artists to help me continue the series. If I do succeed in accomplishing this I will be able to host more animation projects in the near future.
What the hell is Literally Hell?
Literally Hell is an awarding winning cartoon series! The pilot episode was made whilst I was still studying at Leeds Beckett University as my final major project. Ever since the series has evolved into even darker and funnier episodes and over a dozen shorts! So far it has won best animation at Grind Planet Film Festival (2019), UK Monthly Film Festival (2016) and Haunted House Fearfest (2021) and has been accepted in many more film festivals world wide!
Trophy from the Lit Laughs International Comedy Film Festival for best animation 2023
Meet the Hell team
From the very beginning Literally Hell has always been a team effort and I always intend to keep it that way. If I were to do everything on my own, animating Literally Hell cartoons would take far more time to make and would be less polish as I am not an expert in sounds/music. I usually get a sound designer on board to be part of the team. And here is the list of people who have contributed towards the Literally Hell series.
