Layla has just finished work on five 3D idents for Channel One the newly launched TV channel. Red Bee Media set us the brief to create an animated sequence with the animation being created by red thread. It needed to be fluid and dynamic with the red thread travelling through and creating four different environments, each environment representing a strand of programmes broadcast on the channel, medical drama, sci-fi etc. First we created a detailed animatic in 2D then our amazing animators Darragh Mason and Steven Lall took this into 3D. The compositor Rok Predin linked each sequence seamlessly together. It was a tough one with l-o-o-o-n-g hours but it was all worth the effort.

France 3 idents
On 02, Aug 2010 | No Comments | In news / blog | By Richard
Layla has recently completed work on 9 brand new channel idents for french tv channel France3. Trunk worked with Red Bee Media on the channel’s summer campaign.
The aim was to create simple live action environments in which there were various pieces of graphics such as posters, stickers, labels. These graphic objects would talk to the camera using unscripted voiceovers. We worked with our french agency Bandits who went out and scoured the streets of Paris to record various people’s ideas and memories about summer. These were then edited down to a good selection of age ranges and accents.
Compositing wizard Rob Ward worked wonders in creating convincing backgrounds and adding atmpsphere and lighting effects to flat 2d images. The background images were photographed by Ben Turner at a variety of french locations.
As this was a job requiring lots of french lip sync we decided to use actual real french animators, Helene Friren and Raphael Di Roma. They were able to bring a lot of charm, character and subtlety to the animation. We also created 7 second idents with no voiceover, for these we used Grigoris Leontiades who, although his french is a little rusty, speaks greek so we kept it bi-lingual. Richard and Layla are now learning slovenian.
Check out these subtitled versions below.

Nasty Habits hatches from long-term egg
On 09, Jul 2010 | No Comments | In news / blog | By Layla
After a long old while and lots of hard work Layla’s comedy series “Nasty Habits” is finally making it’s way onto the bbc comedy website, this is the pilot episode. Click and watch and (hopefully) laugh. You may have seen this episode as it has actually been up on the Trunk website for a while but why not give it a re-watch to prepare yourself for the avalanche of hilarity which will follow over the next few weeks as episodes 2 to 6 are released.
