Chocolate Island

São Tomé, also known by the locals as 'Chocolate Island' produces some of the best Cocoa in the world. Cafédirect has recently launched a single origin drinking chocolate from the island. We've put together this short animation to help spread the word.

its Magic!



Just a quick snippet of tech-related news...we are trying out a new bit of Apple gadgetry, the Magic Trackpad. We actually got this little beauty for free from Apple, following on from a catalogue of mistakes they made trying to sort out a new MacPro we just took delivery of...anyway, that is a whole other story....

So, we received this little aluminum pad a couple of days ago and hooked it up (via bluetooth)...Jim is curently using it with Motion (while he cooks up a little animation we are working on for Cafédirect - look out for that when its done...) and so far he seems to love it!

Haven't had a go myself yet - but it takes advantage of multitouch technology and allows you to pretty much do away with the trusty old mouse! - will it catch on? time will tell - but its already made a good impression with one of our number...

When God Was A Rabbit


We've been working on this for a little while now, and due to the nature of the business we have not really been able to talk too much about this project.  We were contacted by Headline Publishing earlier this year, and we're very proud that our promo film for the forthcoming book, When God Was A Rabbit, by Sarah Winman went live on Amazon today.

The book is wonderful, and bound to be a monster.  We hope that our tiny part will help it become a success.

The Voice.


Had the pleasure of working with Tim Pigott-Smith last week. He recorded the voice over for our (almost finished) surgical training film which Jim and I shot in Ethiopia last year.

We had a 3 hour long recording session where Tim read the script - flawlessly I might add -replacing the temporary track laid down by yours truly...it never ceases to amaze me the gravitas a great voice over can add to a film.

The trip to Ethiopia was amazing and now having the final film come together with such a great vocal element is very satisfying indeed.


Little Deaths

We just finished animating the titles for the forthcoming UK horror film, Little Deaths.  Sean Hogan, the Director was 'well pleased'.
