Elbow | Open Arms

Phew! we’ve just finished making this video for Elbow for their new single”Open Arms”. It’s based on the illustrations of Elbow’s album cover designer Oliver East. The video is based on a loose narrative of Oliver’s depicting an evening in a Manchester Working Man’s Club. Directors Grigoris Leontiades and Layla Atkinson worked closely with Oliver to stay as close to his original vision of the story as possible. We drafted in a team of animators to animate in Oliver’s inimitable style. A particular challenge was animating the distinctive “ribbon people” which Ollie had designed in his original storyboard. Early on we realised the enormity of animating these in 2d so we turned to Trunk’s old friend and ace compositor Steven Azancot who brought  flat 2 dimensional ribbons into cinema4d, animated them moving around a 3d space on splines then outputted as 2d elements to be composited with the rest of the dancers. We strove to match Oliver’s illustrative style as closely as we could, we animated on 8fps,  added hand painted boiling textures and chromatic aberration to give it as much of a hand-made feeling as possible. It was a long, drawn-out and sometimes painful process with some disgustingly late nights but now it’s over and we can breathe a sigh of relief.

SAZAS | Birds

Here’s a new piece we’ve just finished in the Studio with Trunk Director Rok Predin. The piece is for SAZAS the Slovenian Musicians Union, SUGU, and DSS (Slovenian Union of Classic Composers) and is for a new campaign raising awareness of a new law that will drastically affect Slovenian musician’s rights. The piece runs with the tag line; ‘Without a Slovenian Song, there is no Slovenian Identity’ and reinforces the idea that countries are defined by their music. As we were working for musicians, we couldn’t let them down, and Ivor Novello winner Daniel Pemberton performed and recorded famous national anthems from all over europe, including Scotland, France, Austria and Croatia. We then worked with the guys at Fonic on the sound design and bringing all the musical elements in the final mix together. Everything was animated and composited in house before we did the final output over with our good friends at Hub.
