PROJECTS

Frontier Psychiatry KOKO - promo 03

The third episode in the KOKO London series...

BOC KOKO - promo 02

This is the second short but sweet entry in the KOKO of London series...

Hundred Reasons - Music video

This project was awesome from start to finish. It went through several versions because the original brief was to create something so horrific that it would be banned from every TV station, website, T-Shirt. So our original artwork was pretty tastey stuff, but it became clear that the project was so cool that it really needed to have as much screen time as possible. Currently doing very well on MTV2...

Barefoot Roll KOKO - Promo 01

Club KOKO in London approached us to produce an hour of animated content for their plasma screen in the club. We had a completely blank slate for visuals and audio and were allowed to just go nuts with it. This is the first in the series of 12 films...

Henry Priestman - Music Video

The great thing about this project was the simple aesthetic. Taken from the original album art, it really allowed us to consider how to get the most character and performance into the least visual data...

Pet instruction - animated shorts

These started out as a pitch for a client to demonstrate the speed of our production pipeline, but we have grown quite fond of them...especially the little rat with the big cheese. Expect a series soon. Enjoy...

L'amour est... - animated short

Refusing to accept their relationship is over, the good doctor begins an experiment to see how much Alice wants to leave... We got quite a few emails about this one, from concerned individuals who felt we ought to get our heads checked, and the BBC wouldn't screen it before the watershed. But, it screened at a bunch of festivals (including the BBC's) and won a few awards, so click the link and decide for yourself if it is too horrific. Put together to look like stop-motion. Enjoy...

Idiots of Ants - Titles

We had previously produced an animated project for the Idiots of Ants Edinburgh Festival gig. These funny lads came back to us to produce this title sequence for their appearance on the Funny Cut E4 series. Enjoy...

A Dog's Life... animated short

This started out as a tech demo to accompany in a pitch for a TV series. The idea is the result of videoing my dogs whilst I was at work, because I wanted to make sure they didn't sit at home and bark all day. I remember thinking how funny it would be if the camera caught them watching TV or making a sandwich. Originally in full 1080p HD to demonstrate the ease and flexibility of the production processes involved. Most of the animation is traditional 2D with all the backgrounds in 3D. Enjoy...

Paul Heaton's I DO - music video

Music video for Paul Heaton's track 'I DO'. We were given 2 weeks to come up with something innovative and we had been toying with the idea of animating an entire day in time lapse and it fit the track so well. Each team member was given blue sky with who to populate the streets with, these were given a priority rating and we all just sat and animated right up to the deadline. The video was put together in full 1080p HD and is available by request. Enjoy...

Monika Kruze - Morgana - music video

The brief was to create a film which looked like an authentic 1930's Disney-esque cartoon. With the 6 week production slot, we decided to attack the project the way they did in the good ol' days. We only created 5 backgrounds and recycled the animation. Whilst it was all created digitally, we built in the types of artefacts present on a traditionally made film, complete with slight studio reflection off the glass plate and disruption to the camera position. Enjoy...

Peroxide's The Secret - music video

The team really wanted to create an animated party for a music video, so when ToolRoom records got in touch requesting just that we jumped at the chance. We paid homage to many great movies during the production of this video, so sit back and see if you can spot them. Some are pretty obvious like 'War of the worlds' and 'Day of the dead'. The biggest challenge was implementing a robust system of integrating 2D animation into 3D, especially when interacting with refracting surfaces. Enjoy...

Jay Haze's Direct Hit - music video

This was another one of those dream briefs where the client says 'do what you want, but make it cool'. So we did. Given the brief was entirely up to us and the timeline was so short, we decided to do something which ordinarily we would avoid. The entire video is one camera shot and had hundreds of individual layers. The narrative is loosely weaved upon societies general aversion to being watched, which ironically, is not reflected in their obsession to be the ones watching. Enjoy...
