SHOW AND TELL - JUNE 2010
| Celyn - Guide to Pets for The Guardian A quirky take how to choose the right pet for you, advertising a free pet guide available with The Guardian newspaper. Also designed by our very own Celyn. |
| Woof Wan-Bau - Empire for Barbara Panther Joji uses a mix of animation, live action and inspired model-making, and an amazing performance to create a complex visual rendering of the track which is about the fragility of empires. Joji’s techniques perfectly mirror the song’s bold, jumpy sound and the theatricality of Barbara herself. Unfortunately we have an embargo on this for a couple more weeks - but watch this space for more news..! |
| Johnny Kelly - Het Klokhuis for Kesselskramer New opening sequence for a long-running Dutch kid’s TV show. The sequence uses stop-frame animation to illustrate a series of apple cores – a symbol for the programme title’s literal translation in Dutch. |
| Jonas Odell - Plundered my Soul for The Rolling Stones A music video for the Rolling Stone’s archive track, ‘Plundered My Soul’. Jonas brought to life pictures from the iconic cover artwork from ‘Exile on Main St’ and rare footage of the band to create an animated collage. |
| FX & Mat - TNT In these films the pigeon designed by Fx & Mat is a cute and friendly character that delivers messages. This project was quite an interesting one for Fx & Mat, as gave them the chance to direct live action spots, and then add the 3d bird, giving him life, but also making it fit into the environment. |
| Jonas Odell - Together We Can Do Great Things' for The Global Fund Using his trademark technique of animating still photography, Jonas’ beautiful film is a pastiche of powerful images highlighting both the plight of those suffering and the help Global Fund is available to give. |
| Knife Party - Coalition of the Willing This innovatively developed film seeks to inspire a 21st Century culture shift through an internet-based swarm offensive to leverage the powers of activists, experts, and ordinary citizens to come together to fight climate change. Unfortunately we have an embargo on this for a couple more weeks - but check out the Coalition of the Willing website for more details: coalitionofthewilling.org.uk |

| Quayola - Strata 3 The third film in the Strata series, which transforms Bordeaux’ Grand Theatre fresco ceilings into a new digital formation. |
| Jim Le Fevre - Sherlock Holmes Ep 1 for Hoot Comedy Finger Theatre is a simple technique created with Hoot Comedy and developed to be able to shoot and create an animated comedy series quickly and on a short budget. The preimse is interpretting classic literature through the window of rather simple and moronic comedy characters. |
| Champagne Valentine - Tim Burton Broadcast Promo for UPC on Demand A debauched tea party, infested with creatures from Tim Burton’s brain, directed to promote his films on UPC On Demand. Check out the Tim Burton cakes! |
| Clemens Habicht - Window for Pivot Inverting the experience of watching a band perform, Clemens had Pivot record themselves by wearing a small POV camera while on tour. Seen from a first person perspective, the band and sound is split visually into its three component parts, then rhythmically layered. The result is an immersive performance video experience. |
| Jim Le Fevre - Autostadt Jim created an animated journey through the Autostadt complex to be shown on a 16 foot screen and throughout the venue. Autostadt is a like a theme park for car lovers, and is adjacent to the Volkswagen factory in Wolfsburg, Germany. The 2’30” film is a showcase for the variety of fun attractions there. |
| Mighty Nice - Leaseplan Mighty Nice bring you three spots for fleet company, Leaseplan. These quirky adverts were a lot of fun to make, with the animation team creating realistic puppet-like CG characters, and also puppeteering real objects to have lots of character. Take a look at the darker side of car leasing as our hapless fleet plan manager suffers a series of most unpleasant surprises! |
| Smith & Foulkes - XFinity for Comcast In these 4 new spots for Comcast, Adam and Alan’s Comcast Town is transformed into a hyper-modern, technologically advanced city ‘Comcast Xfinity-Ville’, which creates a digital evolution in the inhabitants lives. The tunes are quite catchy too. Unfortunately we have an embargo on this for a couple more weeks - but watch this space for more news..! |

| Johnny Kelly - I Am Not An Artist for Elisava School of Design, Barcelona Johnny teamed up with Matthew Cooper to combine a grand total of 56 animated gifs in order to illustrate the campaign’s main objective to highlight the fact that designing, contrary to some people’s belief, involves a lot of hard work and dedication.
