One Take Cardboard Magic

August 10th, 2012

Fred & Eric made this 20 second spot for Channel 4

Full of handmade goodness and some very co-ordinated extras they filmed this all in one take (best of 38!)

“All made possible by lots of helping hands, a sliding set, strategically placed magnets, fishing wire and a hair dryer.”

Hats off to the ingenuity!

A Short History of Everything Else

June 29th, 2012

The good folks over at Two Four commissioned us to create the full graphics package for their latest panel show, A Short History of Everything Else.

We took inspiration from the shape of the set which in turn took it’s shape from a giant spool of VHS tape.

The titles are a visual feast of snapshots of the past 30 years, not just the hard hitting news but of all the other things that make up history that you might have forgotten about. Pop trivia, celeb lives and scientific breakthroughs which changed the world – to Brit Art that changed the face of late 20th Century art.

The style is fun and fast paced…. there’s a lot of history to get through!

Tune in at 10pm on Wednesdays, Channel 4.

The ULTIMATE Pimms o’clock

May 17th, 2012

Jubilee maddness is here and I’m not gonna lie – I love it!

Royals, shiny things, an excuse to drink for an extra day 2 days  the weekend and, in my case, OAP Olympics with the neighbours in my Gran’s cul-de-sac just has to equal good times to be had by all.

To celebrate this momentous occasion of dear ol’ Liz celebrating 60 years on the throne, a feat that hasn’t been achieved since the days of Queen Victoria (I think the boys need to up their game slightly), brands everywhere are going Union Jack mad. From Marmite to Banksy – everyone’s getting in on the act, even Oxford St has been decked out with nearly 150 flags.

Far and away, my most favouritest of the band-wagon-jumping-let’s-make-a-fortune-by-adding-a-flag-and-calling-it-special-or-limited-edition products has to be Pimms. It’s the summer drink of a nation, as quintessentially British as the word “quintessential” and no Bank Holiday is complete with out that strange drink that we all agree is better with cucumber in it, although rocket just seems a step too far…

Hats off to Selfridges for teaming up with only drink-makers who go to work in bowler hats and merrily swing their umbrellas whilst carrying a copy of The Times tucked under their arm.* These geniuses have created a limited edition, world’s first of a 3 LITRE BOTTLE, with a special edition label of….yup…you guessed… a Union Jack!

For £150 this commemerative gem can be yours – one thing to note though, if you consume the lot in one patriotic frenzy the bottle may be the only thing you have left to remember what you were celebrating in the first place. See – genius band wagon marketing at it’s best!!

*I’m aware Bowler hats may not be an enforced uniform policy at Pimms Towers, but a girl can dream…

WINNER!

April 20th, 2012

Our original Bridget Riley inspired screen visuals for Wella’s International Trend Vision Awards 2012 in New York have been awarded Bronze by the International Design Awards for 2011 in the Professional Multimedia – Animation category!!

The International Design Awards exist to celebrate the world’s most visionary designers, discover new and emerging talent, and promote the appreciation of design worldwide.

We produced the multi-platorm designs for the main stage, catwalk and surrounding plasma screens. Working with the choreographers and set designers, we created integrated graphics that were sychronised to the dancers performing live on stage.

Massive well done to everyone involved!

Take a peek at the epic opening sequence below or check out our website for the rest of the “trend” visuals for Roxy, Grace, Blaze and Celeste.

And we’re back in the game!

February 17th, 2012

After a nail-biting week long event in January, The Bank Job is back for it’s second series in uber quick time!

Remarkable Television (Endemol) commissioned us to create the full graphics package for this sweat inducing piece of gameshow genius! As far as shows go this one is definitely going to keep you on the edge of your seat.

You need blueprints to pull off a bank job, so these were an influence on the design. We thought, heist, plans, commercials and experimental, then molded those ideas into a logo, title sequence and the rest of the show package to compliment the set.

We recreated in 3D (to a certain degree) the plan of the bank*, including the scene of the crime itself – the vault. The wireframe quality was a mixture of outline and a brushed metal texture which was then composited giving it a dark, grainy filmic feel – with a dash of striking lens flares and a good touch of twitching.

TX: Friday 17th February at 9pm on Channel 4

*just in case any criminal masterminds spend their Friday nights watching gamehows for inspiration on how to pull off the ultimate heist – the 3D model of the bank wasn’t a true representation. We’d hate to make it too easy for any budding Bonnie and Clyde types out there…
