Roll for Pole

Thursday afternoon saw the little processors on my iMac smoking away as I blasted through these animations for Swan, Role for Pole. I was really pleased with the result.

Here is the animations on the big screens at Brands Hatch over the bank holiday!!

Some more experimenting…

I spent a couple of hours last night trying to get my head around the workflow between Cinema 4D and after effects and created this little gem.

Adventures in Motion Tracking

We have been working on the promo video for parkrun and having a lot of fun playing with motion tacking and type/icons in after effects. Below you will see a number of teaser screen-grabs from what we have been working on.

Come on now, eat your Sprouts!!

Van Communications asked us to create them a quirky christmas Animation. Sprouts get a bad rap at Christmas so we decided to make them that little bit more lovable.

Here was our animation from last year. This was more down the typographic route. It was a lot of fun coming up with these concepts and creating them in after effects….

Shooting “This is parkrun” on RED!

Ali — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 10:40:12 +0000

This weekend I was out shooting footage for a promo video we have begun work on for parkrun. I was shooting on RED cameras with the help of Lily Gooding from Brownian Motion. It was a real learning curve, with Lily watching over me making sure I didn’t break anything on this amazing bit of kit. Having watched back the footage, I am really excited about the end product. Watch this space for the finished promo….

We would like to thank Jeff Brown from Brownian Motion for the use of the camera’s and obviously Lily Gooding for giving up her Saturday morning to help me shoot. Its all very exciting!

Peace One Day (Six PR)

This is a small job we worked on for Six Pr, Coca Cola and Peace One Day. Its a viral sting for Peace One Day, which highlights the role coca cola pays in the Peace One Day and the Film which is soon to be released.

The Interview was shot by Charlie Chambers who we have worked with in the past on similar jobs to this.

Kaleidoscope Caravan Club

Last weekend I was having some more adventures in motion graphics whilst creating these screen visuals for Kaleidoscope Caravan Club. It was a massive challenge taking a poster and a logo and trying to create something moving and slick, but I think I have succeeded!

Simple is always best.

Mateusz sent me this today and I love it. Its such a lovely simple way to combine typography and pretty cinematography. In a world of huge budget, overproduced CGI ridden motion work, its always refreshing to see stuff like this moving the pixels around my Imac Screen.

Fun With Triangles

Ross and myself have been having fun with triangles and bouncing balls to create this funky sting for Bridging the Gap number 007. It was great fun playing around with after effects and a huge learning curve yet again. After Effects seems to just go on forever in its capabilities.

Ross also created this rather lovely Poster for the night, sticking to the slick Swiss Graphic Style that has been enforced onto the Bridging the Gap brand.

Bridging the Gap Sting

I had fun last night creating this funky little sting for Ross and Friend’s Bridging the Gap club night. I had a play with some new tehcniques in after effects as well as learning how to treat footage to give it that 70’s look. It was great fun and a huge learning curve. Enjoy….
