The video was about capturing an insight into Sinead’s world, just a normal girl hanging out in her bedroom from day to night. I wanted a mood that felt personal and intimate. This was then highlighted by the animation. I wanted this to feel innocent, primitive and bold and I felt the nature of doing this animation for real as camera less animation (a technique pioneered by the incredible Norman McLaren) would capture an insight and honesty that matches the emotion of the track. All animation done by hand directly onto 35mm film. BTS pics below. Process We began by shooting on 35mm film. We almost had an entirely female crew too. Which was great. Why does this not happen more please!? The film was then scanned and made digital so we could edit it. The day to night timelapse was fun to capture too. I wanted a 7 second timelapse which meant I needed 175 frames. With the help of the awesome DP Katie Swain who designed the lighting to replicate that feeling of daylight changing to nighttime. While nearly all the crew plus the commissioner James Hackett were allocated control over different lights to gradually dim down and up over the 3 minutes we took to execute this effect. We shot 1 frame per sec and ended with 180 frames. Once edited I then worked with an animator to create a digital animatic to give us an indication of what some of the animation might look like on the footage. Thanks Daniel Murtha! We then graded the film and then had the film reprinted back on to 35mm negs which we sent to our animator. Enter the very talented and highly skilled, Em Cooper. I’m not sure anything could have prepared us for the delicate execution of painting directly on to film! Experienced as she is she had still never painted directly on to film. Em then had to design her own contraption to allow her to go back and forth on the reel. She also ended up using coloured pens instead of paint as she could be more precise on the film and the colours were better. For the initial previews Em took photos on her SLR through a magnify glass which she then collated in an editing programme to make a small preview quicktime. It was quite exhilarating seeing the first preview and watching the concept become tangible. If you look carefully we switch between 25fps and 12.5fps animation and live action at 25fps. As it would have been even more time consuming doing 25fps animation on all clips. But I think this really adds to the charm. We had 3 rolls of negs for our animator. She only used one and what you see is the one master reel with painted frames. This reel of film is a work of art in it’s own right. When the final animated clip was complete the final scan was a crucial step to seeing if it would all work. Finally once re-scanned I was surprised by how well the colours came out. We then had minimal tweaking in the final grade for delivery. A huge thank you to everyone who believed and made this very unusual project happen.

Automotive is one of the industries with the most desperate need for innovation. While great things are happening in this space, with Tesla or Google self driving cars for example, most of todays cars are built and used like in the 1920s. Big corporations, trade secrets, enourmous entry barriers for new players. OSVehicle is changing all that. It’s an Open Source platform that enables anyone to build a car and assemble it in less than an hour. It’s basically doing to the transportation industry what Arduino did to electonic. It’s enabling new hardware and software companies, cool project about sustainability, electric engines and connected vehicles. We were really happy to take part of this project, helping them explain to the public that this was much more than the IKEA car described by the media. It’s an example of how Italy’s expertise and ideas, together with China’s hardware production power, can become a huge international success and disrupt an industry.

Canal+ Being The Bear
Posted in: AnimationCanal+ interactive campaign “Being the Bear” has picked up awards at The Webby Awards and The Golden Award of Montreux. Launched in June 2014, the interactive experience takes viewers behind the scenes of the hugely popular Canal+ The Bear film, allowing them to take on the role of director Paul Bearman. Users can direct their cast by voice (or by keyboard) via a voice recognition system. They can direct the scene in a variety of film genres, such as comedy, horror…or even porno. The cast respond instantly and enact the scenes. A konami code also allows users to trigger the famous tantrums of Paul Bearman and his famous catchphrase “I don’t give a shit”, triggering widespread panic on the set! This interactive spot is available on all screens: computers, laptops, mobile phones. The campaign won Best Use of Video or Moving Image at the Webbys, and Best Use Of Digital Media at The Golden Award of Montreux.
