Suncorp Bank

Here’s our latest project, we worked with Brisbane agency George Patterson/Y&R to produce four commercials for Australian bank Suncorp. The brief was to create simple claymation styled animation in CGI.
3D wizard David Bruce modelled Layla’s character designs in 3D Max before taking them into Z-brush to create authentically clay-like flawed, pock marked, thumb printed models. Our old friend Luca Paulli then rigged the characters. Direction was by Layla Atkinson and animation was by Luca Paulli and Leslie Dart. We removed frames in post to give a slightly jerky feeling to the animation and also added a subtle lighting flicker. Final compositing was by Rok Predin, and the piece was finished with a lovely grade. Working with a client on the other side of the world initially seemed complicated but the whole job ran like clockwork and was a total pleasure from start to finish.

Ear Food

Alasdair and Jock will be appearing on Nemone’s 6Music show this afternoon at two o’clock to talk about their video for “Bubblegum” which is Nemone’s video of the week.

The plan is for Al to tie Nemone to a chair while Jock broadcasts seminal 80’s classic “St. Elmo’s Fire (Man in Motion)” on a loop. Listen, it should be good

TAKE THAT TRUNK

Trunk Animation’s Rok Predin has been working for Take That at this year’s Royal Variety Performance. Take That, who sang two songs from their No1 album Progress, headlined the show. Their song ‘SOS’ was accompanied by some amazing visuals by Trunk Animation’s Rok. The animated backdrop, based on an original idea by Richard Cullen, featured an apocalyptic vision of London with iconic buildings burning behind the pop quintet. The show watched by an estimated 150 million people worldwide was broadcast yesterday. Sam Pattinson at Treatment studios commissioned Trunk Animation who turned the work around in less than a week. Trunk also helped build the visuals behind Take That’s other song ‘The Flood’ using green screen techniques to multiply and animate a dancer.
