A big thank you to Seb, RichMitch, Jo and Sarah for inviting us and making us feel so welcome!

'Little Things'

+Jeffrey Brown

Over the last few months we’ve been working for seminal Chicago cartoonist Jeffrey Brown, author of Clumsy, unlikely. We've been animating Jeff’s drawings for a short promo to promote his new book ‘Little Things’. The promo was animated in flash for Jeff's website and was great fun. Ginny met Jeff in comic book store Gosh in London last year and got talking about animation.

The music was created by Bristol band Mewgatz. Jeff also created the artwork for their debut album, including a 16 page album comic book.

Channel4 + UK Film Council: Perhaps?

2009-04-09T16:06:00.008+01:00

+Perhaps God is Angry
Early in the year we were lucky enough to be short listed by both Channel4 and the UK Film Council for short film funding for our film ‘Perhaps God is Angry’. Perhaps he was on those days, as sadly we didn’t win either of our pitches, but throughly enjoyed the odd experience!

Thanks to Sam Bourner for shaping our scribbles into a script.

Here's a glimpse of our 'storyboard' doodles. The film is based on an 30second ident that i started which quickly grew wildly out of control into a 3 min film, this seems to happen quite alot.

The Mystery Of Pig City!

2009-03-19T16:01:00.006Z

+NYICFF 08

Ginny and I have been off to New York for a few days as my graduation film; The Mystery Of Pig City’ was selected to be apart of the International Children’s Film Festival.

The film played to an excited (perhaps too excited) young audience and was followed by an embarrassing Q&A featuring questions about ‘colours, what sausages are really made off and suggestions for ideas that were better’. An amazing festival, and New York was an amazing city.

Congratulations to Sarah Cox who's film Don’t let it all Unravel won the Environmental Award and to Felix Massie who's great film 'Keith Reynolds can't make it tonight' also won the 12-18 award.

Thanks to Paul Brewster and the ICFF volunteers for making the trip so memorable.

+ (?}

We’ve just completed our first Super Short Film entitled: PIXEL FILM: {?). The film was drawn in a 50x50 Pixel square frame by frame and the 8-Bit sound track was created using ‘Magical 8Bit’ a plug in for Garage Band.

The title’s (?} is our version of an ascii art speech bubble with a question mark, which kind of sums the film up! Were hoping to make more of these in the future as it was great fun designing and animating to such an odd limitation.
