We are pretty excited to announce that our music video for 'Moving Parts' by Mr Fogg has been nominated in the music video category at this years Rushes Soho Shorts Festival.
The other nominations include 'Stylo' by Gorillaz - so we've got it in the bag obviously.

We've been doing a lot of work for UNKLE this year in the run up to the release of their album 'Where Did The Night Fall' which was released earlier this month.
The biggest project has been pulling together the visuals for their live show which is on the road at the moment. We've being compiling all of the work they've had done previously as well as produce visuals for some of the new tracks.

We've been commissioned by Ranger 3 to direct a music video for their upcoming EP release. The track is called 'Pendulum' and we shot all of the live action elements last week at our studio in Bristol.

Earlier this year we were commissioned by London based agency Large Blue to produce an animation for the Field Studies Council. It is part of a campaign they are running to raise awareness of the importance of fieldwork in all areas of research.

We're pleased to say that we've just confirmed a sort of mini VJ residence at Start The Bus in March and April at their new night 'No Need To Shout'.

New Year, new Scubaboy. After two and half happy years being based at Spike Island it was time for a change, so 2010 sees us settling into a cosy new studio.

We have been working with Science.TV to produce a set of motion-graphics for a series of programmes they have been putting together with Vestas (the world's largest wind turbine manufacturer).

We've just finished putting together some visuals for Delirious' farewell tour which is about to kick off. Although you've probably never heard of them these guys have been around forever, touring across the globe since I was a small boy.
The UK tour kicks off in Belfast next week and ends up with a final show at the Hammersmith Apollo where I think they're filming the gig for a live DVD release sometime in 2010.

Moving Parts is featured on Promo News today! We're pretty excited by this for obvious reasons. It's great to see our work up alongside some of the best of the industry.

Moving Parts has been included on Feed section of the Creative Website. Which is nice.

We've just finished producing a set of motion-graphics for a promo for Channel Fours' 4 Talent Scheme.
Bristol based production company Calling the Shots produced the video and brought us in to provide the graphics.

On monday The Tate Modern hosted the official launch of the 1010 - an ambitious project that aims to cut the UK's carbon emissions by 10% in 2010.
3 weeks ago we had a last minute call from a member of the 1010 team asking if we could pull together an animation for the launch day. We had a 3 day window between other projects and holidays - so decided to see what we could do.

Back in January we worked on the title sequence for 'The Napoleon Complex' - a surreal comedy chat show directed by Roy Petersen. Roy recently asked us to produce a bunch of additional animated clips to use in the show, based on the same style as the titles.

After nearly two years based in Spike Design we've come across an opportunity to move that's too good to turn down.

It is with equal excitement and fear that we can announce that James has been asked to do a presentation at the Apple store in Bristol.

A couple of weeks ago we got commissioned by Southern Fried Records to direct the music video for Cagedbaby's new single 'Forced'.

It's been our massive privilege to have spent the last two weeks working with Warren Du Preez and Nick Thornton-Jones on a rather special project for UNKLE.

We have just finished producing some animation for a project for the Ramsar Convention. The commission was through london based agency Large Blue.

Art director Andy Hutch recently commissioned us to work on some visuals for a project he was doing with Tim Hughes.

We worked with James Lavelle of UNKLE to put together some visuals for their sold-out show at Somerset House in London this weekend.
It was really nice to get a chance to work with UNKLE again after doing the promo for Restless Earlier this year. We worked on material for three tracks off the new record 'End Titles... Stories For Films'.

This weekend Spike Island had their annual 'Open' whereby they let any old rascal into the building to have a good snoop around.
As part of the event Spike Design hosted it's own little exhibition showcasing the businesses who work there.

The nice folks at AU magazine have done a little feature on the UNKLE video. There is a little interview with James and of course a link to the film on YouTube.

Restless is featured in edition 43 of US based DVD Mag Stash. It's a little bit daunting to see my work sitting alongside such high quality examples of motion graphics and VFX, but needless to say it's a huge honour.

We've been commissioned by P-Vine Records (in association with Soultage Records) to direct the promo for The Baker Brothers single 'Chance and Fly'.
It's the first single off their Japan only release 'Transition Transmission' and features Hamish Stuart (of Average White Band fame) on vocals.

We just noticed that Restless is on the Gonzo Loves Playlist this week. Described as 'an atmospheric and thought provoking video' - I think. Nice.
