QualitySolicitors

When Quality Solicitors wanted to launch their brand campaign they asked us to design and create a world of characters that would be used not only on TV, but also on their website and in print.

An initial concept was approved and a script and storyboard produced to compliment the character designs. After two months of model building, animation, lighting and post production the commercial was completed.

After a successful initial run which helped to bring the Quality Solicitor brand to wider attention a second commercial is already well underway.

Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best. This eye-catching and memorable commercial came about because of the connection to the client's name. A frog character seemed the obvious choice.

The irreverent character, who jumps, dances and shakes his way through the ad, helped hammer the message home and made for a memorable commercial.

Wereworld

Penguin Book's commissioned us to devise a script and storyboard, and create the comic-style 2D animation to promote Curtis Jobling's soon-to-be-published novel 'Wereworld'.

Pencil sketches produced by Niel Bushnell were digitally coloured in Photoshop and manipulated in After Effects to create the finished visuals.

Jellydoodz

Candybus commissioned Qurios to bring to life its new property Jellydoodz, a story about climate change and the environment for children aged between 3 – 6 yrs.

Initial character designed had already been created as part of a book project. We translated these into 3D models and put together a script and storyboard that took the story of the book as its starting point.

The completed 3 minute animated story has already generated a lot of interest for Candybus and the future looks bright (and colourful) for the Jellydoodz.

The Fitzwilliam Clinic
Posted May 25th 2010

The Fitzwilliam ClinicThe design of this commercial was led by Chris Chatterton who devised simple 2D characters that could be translated into 3D models.

 

The strong design followed through to the painted background that used minimal colours to help the characters break out of the frame.
