Straight off the back of the 'bank job' came this 30" promo for a competition being run by Stanbic IBTC Bank, giving customers the opportunity to win a trip to the Orange Africa Cup of Nations in Angola, 2010. Not a bad end result considering the very tight turnaround time of two weeks!

A (legal) Bank Job

2009-09-28T06:43:00.000-07:00

It's been a while since the last update, but that's partly because this job has taken up so much time over the last couple of months! Very pleased with the end result though... A 45" ad for Stanbic Bank through Glorious Pictures and TBWA Nigeria, incorporating 2D & 3D animation along with live action. The full ad will appear on the site very soon.

Art of the Title

Those lovely people over at artofthetitle.com chose to feature the title sequence from Fakers as this weeks headline story.

World Premiere of The Take

2009-05-14T16:20:00.000-07:00

Was invited to see the premiere screening of The Take on Wednesday evening in Mayfair. Always nice to see your work on the big screen, and, thankfully, it looked great and was well received by all involved. Top job from all at Sky and Company Pictures.... and a special mention for Martina Cole, what a lovely lady.

And yes, it's life-size! Walking past the Hoxton hotel today this beautifully crafted sculpture glowed from directly behind the glass entrance doors to the lobby. Upon entering, the full impact of the fluorescent orange paintwork became even more apparent and I was lucky enough to meet the artist who was applying the finishing touches to the installation. The attention to detail was fantastic, and Benedict Radcliffe is a top man. Check out more of his work here http://benedictradcliffe.co.uk/

The Take

2009-04-27T07:39:00.000-07:00

April has been pretty non-stop after being asked by Lipsync to handle the design and production of the main title sequence for new Sky drama 'The Take'. More details will appear in the 'Work' section of the new website which will be launched very soon.

Reflecting on a great trip...

2009-03-21T17:28:00.000-07:00

So it's nearly time to head back to Blighty, but there's just enough time to hit the white stuff one more time before heading back across the Atlantic :)

Proper grafitti

Lower Downtown Denver is full of character and original features which appear not only as architecture, but also the beautiful old 'painted on' original adverts and signage that adorn these historic buildings.

Livin' the high life

So we've been a bit slack at updating the blog recently, but here are a few posts of things we've been up to since our last posts :)

Fresh white powder

2009-03-08T19:43:00.000-07:00

First trip of the year to Vail provided perfect conditions.... 6 inches of fresh powder and bluebird skies :)

Simply beautiful

2009-03-08T19:31:00.001-07:00

If this was in the UK it might be mistaken for Banksy's latest offering. Actually, it's a parking sign in one of Denver's public car parks. Beautiful.

APC, it's easy as 1,2,3...

2009-03-04T16:50:00.000-08:00

Whilst obviously enjoying our time in the good ol' US of A, we're still winning commissions for new work. The Adventure Podcasting Corporation is a newly launched website focusing on the great outdoors and all it has to offer. From snowboarding to mountain biking, the APC is aimed at anyone and everyone, whether beginner or experienced, who's passionate about what thrills and spills nature can provide. We were commissioned to create their new brand, and we kinda like it... check out the site here.

Boulder

2009-03-04T10:52:00.000-08:00

A visit to the student town of Boulder yesterday afternoon made me envious of just how different the University lifestyle is over here. The town is nestled at the base of the Rocky Mountains, around 30 minutes drive from Denver, and was being bathed in sunshine and clear blue skies throughout the day. Proper Summers and proper Winters...... If only I'd have known all those years ago!

Sun & Snow in Colorado

2009-03-04T10:05:00.000-08:00

We've taken time out this month to visit our friends over in Denver, Colorado. It's becoming an annual thing at this time of year, and allows us to indulge our passion for a spot of snowboarding. We love it, and are very grateful to Andy, Cara, Ingy and Ruby for their warm hospitality once again.
