We’ve had quite the year in 2016 – so here’s a quick highlight reel to show what we’ve been up to. And just a snippet what lies ahead.
New Clients
2016 was certainly a busy one. We worked with 34 new clients (as well as loads of our existing customers) last year across USA, UAE, UK, and throughout Europe. Though sadly as studio nerds we don’t get to visit all this great places, we can only imagine!
Motion Design
We’re constantly upskilling here, and although Victoria is trained in fine arts and graphic design – classes specifically for design for motion didn’t really exist until very recently. So we jumped at the chance, and we completed the highly regarded School of Motion Design Bootcamp Course.
Character Animation
Not one to be left out of the fun, our animation expert, Harry, has been delving further into the work of 2d character animation and rigging.
It’s pretty tricky work rigging a character correctly, but it makes a world of difference when it comes to movement – and getting it realistic (not just kerky and sporadic). He completed training at the end of last year to further improve – and we’ve had some great results!
New Sectors
For us, 2016 saw a low of new video and design work across the medical, education and technology sectors in particular. We love learning about new businesses and organisations – and their markets. There’s nothing like a video production to help you learn in depth about a new field relatively quickly. It’s so interesting!
Working Internationally
We now have a second base at LX Factory in Lisbon. From Summer 2016 and continuing into this year we’ve been working between both locations. It’s great, Lisbon has really grown as a creative and technological hub in Europe.
This year ahead
OFFF Festival
So we’re heading to #OFFF17 . It’s a multi disciplinary design and art festival in Barcelona. In their own words “It is more than just a Festival hosting innovative and international speakers, it is more than a meeting point for all talents around the world to collaborate, it is more than feeding the future.”
We’re looking forward to hearing from some amazing speakers and meeting some like minded people!
3D
We’re also making some great advances with 3D design and animation. This is still under wraps at the moment, but we’ll be unveiling some great new 3D projects soon and are looking forward to fully expanding our offering.
Gif Page
We’re working on a web page just for our gif animations. It’s going to a be fun and very silly, there may or may not be a dancing taco…
Lastly – if you want to see some of our latest projects, whether design or animation head to our lovely Portfolio Page. We update it all the time
