BT SPORT / FA Cup 19-20 Quarter Finals promos
We worked with BT Sport to put together a series of promos for the 2019-20 FA Cup. A homage to the classic Creature Comforts series, the audio used unscripted interviews with fans.
After being interrupted by COVID, the FA Cup resumed and we made the a special lockdown version for the Quarter Finals (above).

BT SPORT / Champions League 19-20 promo toolkit
We worked with BT Sport to put together a promo toolkit for the 2019-20 UEFA Champions League season. The idea was to make a pinball table filled with illustrations of players and personalities from the teams in the competition, with frenetic animation to capture the excitement and unpredictablility of the Champions League. We explored a few looks but the 80s style was the chosen route.
The toolkit enabled the internal team at BT Sport to easily swap out illustrations to customise promos for different teams/matches, and the client was extremely happy with the results.
This montage shows a selection of the 3d shots that we created.

BT / CRYSTAL MAZE SPONSORSHIP BUMPERS
BT asked us to create a set of sponsorship bumpers for a special charity episode of The Crystal Maze, in aid of Stand Up To Cancer. We devised four bumpers, each an epic version of the BT logo in the style of the zones from The Crystal Maze; futuristic, aztec, medieval and industrial.

BT SPORT / Action Woman Awards 2016
The BT Sport Action Woman Awards are annual awards presented by BT Sport to the sportswoman or female sportsteam who has been adjudged to have been the best of the year. For 2016 they asked us to create a series of promos to raise awareness and get the public voting, with an overall 30sec piece and then individual 15sec just focusing on each nominee.
The idea was based around a mock magazine; making the nominees cover stars and having the camera move dynamically around, highlighting some of their achievements (particularly in the individual promos).

BT / INFOGRAPHICS
BT asked us to create some infographic explainers for a series of recruitment and new joiners videos. These were sections that sat within longer films and were used to illustrate the functions of the different companies that make up BT Group.
The challenge was to strike a balance between keeping a 'corporate' style, maintaining consistency between the seven different businesses (each having their own brand and stakeholders) and yet creating something that was engaging for the viewer. We can't show the full versions but this is a montage of some of the project.

ANHHA / SS15 VIDEO
AndWhat approached us to create a video to showcase AnhHa’s SS15 Womenswear collection. Intricate detailing and contemporary monochromatic shapes where the foundation for the general look. We combined stop frame photography with motion graphics to generate a stylish and at the same time playful animation.

TINY POP / BIG QUESTIONS
This is another set of interstitials for Tiny POP, aimed at preschoolers. This series asks some simple (and not so simple) questions that children might ask and explains them in an engaging way.
We had to create a series of 12 in six weeks (two per week), so from a production standpoint we had to keep them fairly simple, with a mix of 2d and 3d animation.

PRINT CLUB LONDON
Matt recently spent a weekend at Print Club London, rediscovering the joys of screenprinting. We spend a lot of time creating moving image/animation so it's refreshing to get away from a computer from time to time. We'll be doing more with these character designs in the future.

3D PRINTING
We've been experimenting with 3d printing with one of our characters (onerobotband from our POP idents). In this case we modelled it hollow to both reduce printed material and enable us to plug the instruments into his back.
This technology is incredible and we look forward to experimenting with further as it evolves!
