We are busy working on something exciting for 2012, which will be keeping us busy up to our eyeballs into the summer months. Then we will take our eyeballs out, pack them a little suitcase and send them on a holiday to Skeggy.

THE STAVES: MEXICO

November 10th, 2011

An all in camera animation affair – or is it???
Yes it is. We animated vignettes and sequences to capture The Staves beautifully melancholic song ‘Mexico’. The animation was a mixture of cut out and hand painted sequences brought to life in After Effects. We then used the skills of our projectionist Jack Banks to manipulate the images around the performance by the excellent Staveley sisters. It was a rather tight budget so we animated it ourselves over a rather intense few weeks. Thanks to all who helped us on this.

Right Royal Shenanigans

April 8th, 2011

Last night saw the RSVPHRH exhibtion in full swing at The Rag Factory just off Brick Lane.

Heres our entry, now unleashed on the British public. All the contributions were printed out nice and big, adorning the walls in varying degrees of cynicism and celebration – depending on how you like your royalty served.

Thanks to Nick and Clark for organizing it… somehow we didn’t meet them. But cheers chaps, it was grand!
