Tracks and Layers

With the launch of Dodge's Pup School on CBeebies this week, we thought it would be a great opportunity to share some of our process in creating the opening title sequence, from building the scene, rigging and animating the book pages to placing the adorable cast of characters within the book and final touches. Enjoy! #Animation #BTS #CGIBreakdown #CBeebies #PupSchool

We are super excited to share our latest title sequence work for new CBeebies series "Dodge's Pup School". The show features a colourful cast of puppet dogs having adventures at their new school. We wanted to echo the hand crafted nature of the show in the titles, paying close attention to lighting, all the tactile materials and extra little details. Produced by the fantastic Brilliant Trees Media Ltd team and based on an original idea by Dodge himself Warrick Brownlow-Pike, you can catch the entire series every week day this week or on iPlayer now! And keep your eyes on our socials for the rest of the week as we share more behind the scenes from the sequence. #PupSchool #CBeebies #Animation #ChildrensTV #Titles

Blue Peter have just launched their exciting new Earthshot Competition! As big advocates for Sustainability it was a pleasure to be asked to create the competition logo and animation - complimenting the existing Earthshot Prize brand with new child friendly animated icons symbolising each of the 5 Earthshot challenges. #EartshotCompetition #EarthshotPrize #TitleDesign #MotionGraphics #BluePeter

We love working with Monkey Kingdom as they often have really unusual projects for us! Earlier this week we shared the animation for the work we did on Stand Up To Cancer's comedy roast of Davina McCall. This was a fun brief that called for a "newspaper cutting" style with plenty of texture, layers, and bold colours from SU2C's palette. The turnaround time was very tight, so it also helped having talented freelancer Nat on board, who did some fantastic work on this project. Check out some of our process here from mood-board to final style-frames... #Animation #GraphicDesign #SU2C #DavinaMcCall #CharityEvent

As part of Stand Up To Cancer's charity event last November, we got to work with Andy over at Monkey Kingdom on these fun graphics for Davina McCall's comedy roast section. This project had a really tight turnaround, and we were lucky to have Nat Wood on board to help us with this eclectic graphic style. We love how this animation turned out, and we've got some stills to share with you later this week. It was exciting to be part of this entertaining (if challenging!) project, especially for a good cause like Stand Up To Cancer. We can't wait to see what they come up with this year! If you'd like to hear more about the important work they do, check out their website: https://lnkd.in/eqQchTv #Animation #MotionGraphics #SU2C #DavinaMcCall #CharityEvent

Throwing it back to a project we completed a couple of years ago today. We had the pleasure of creating an explainer infomercial for Royal Canin's Hematuria Detection by Blucare. The biggest challenge on this project was creating the animated cat. Using Duik in After Effects, we built a custom quadruped rig to animate the cat with lifelike precision. Curious about our process? Check it out in our project highlights here! #AnimationProcess #MotionGraphics #Explainer #Duik #AfterEffects

We’re excited to have collaborated with our friends at Sticks & Glass to create an on-brand animated explainer for Neverwaste the world’s first high-performance panel board made entirely from waste. Using a clean, monochromatic yellow and black palette, we focused on smooth, seamless transitions that echo the sustainable, cyclical nature of the product. This innovative material, crafted without glues, resins, or toxic chemicals, aligns perfectly with our commitment to sustainability. #Sustainability #EcoFriendly #CircularEconomy #MotionGraphics #Animation #Explainer

Earlier this year we were approached by our neighbours and good friends, Submarine Films, to create a short animation for a film they were producing for Wild in Art, an organisation that creates spectacular and meaningful public art trails around the world, partnering with destinations, charities, and businesses to make a difference. The animation we created takes the viewer on a tour of the globe, stopping off at all the locations where Wild In Art has made an impact since its inception. Take a peak behind the scenes of our process in creating this short animation for a lovely client doing fantastic work around the globe! #MotionGraphics #Animation #MapGraphics #WildInArt #Process

"Shetland: Scotland's Wondrous Isles" aired on Channel 5 this spring, and we got to put our map-making skills to work on this lovely representation of the islands. Building the map layer by layer helped us to add stylised depth to the isles & sea, as well as all the fun details that highlight the areas of interest. We hope you enjoyed this look behind the scenes at our creative process - the show is still available on Channel 5's My5, so do give it a watch! #Animation #MotionDesign #Maps #Shetland #NewWork

Channel 5's "Shetland: Scotland's Wondrous Isles" is all about celebrating the nature and heritage of these lovely islands, and we tried to capture this in our design process. "The Shetland Islands" was selected as the final title, but early on, we explored different ways of representing "Shetland" with animals and the map of the isles - which one is your favourite? #Animation #MotionDesign #Maps #Shetland #NewWork
