We had a lot of fun last year working on stop-frame animations. Partly thanks to the popularity of Volkswagon's 'Think Blue' advert, we're enjoying more commissions this year. We can't post the video yet, but here's some pics from last Friday's shoot with Kate Rochester for HighPoint, specialists in Agresso business software.

Thanks to director/cameraman, Mark, from SilverSun MG for building Kate a cosy polystyrene house on such a cold day in the studio - it also made the light look really nice on-screen!

Kate Rochester

Kate's concentrating face. Everything was free-hand but had to mimic the proofs that had already been signed off by the client. No pressure then, Kate.

Kate's drawing of a rather large elephant being pushed uphill by a dainty cartoon lady in high heels.

Mark taking time out for a few snaps too.

Kate's fine selection of pens to match our client's corporate colours.

Mark checking the levels & composition on-screen.

That's the lot I'm afraid but we'll post some video links as soon as we can. In the meantime, if you want to discuss how a stop-frame can bring your content to life in a simple and engaging way, please get in touch via the channels below.
