Destruction from the early days….

Filed under: Fun, General, Office — Tags: — simon @ 1:28 pm

I found this vid from a recent clear up - we were only in the labs a few weeks and had started to pull it apart - when the alarm went off we very nearly cleared out the whole mill thinking it was a fire…!

live, at last…

They say that a builders home is never complete - or at least it takes an age to get the roof on.

We have been working on the new face of the new black for almost a year - from initial chats through to this week the cogs have been turning and at last we have gone LIVE with our new website :)

A whole heap of our film + video work is up there to view in shiny quicktime format, including our new showreel for 2009.

Have a peep, enjoy it, share it and keep an ai ai for ongoing development.

Red Cup Day

Filed under: Blogroll, Fun, Office — simon @ 3:54 pm

All year we tolerate white. I mean you do still get excited about white, but then in early November something kinda crazy happens - they Starbucks cups turn RED!

This Christmas drinks are here and already the crowds are going nuts, toffee nuts! (see what I did?).  The almighty Gingerbread lattes are back - aw you what? Not many.

November 5th was Bonfire night, but primarily Red Cup Day.

Yes Please.

studio dawg

Well we are glad to welcome Jakers the studio dog down at the labs today.

He is pretty sleepy now after exploring all this space - so far no pool of yellow in sight but don’t be too confident - it is just a matter of time!

Jakers is the 5th member of the new black crew, but by no means the hairiest.

New Showreel now showing

Filed under: Filming, General — simon @ 2:28 pm

We have posted our updated showreel online for 2008. Last year was a great 12 months for our production work, with a big highlight being a short produced in New York as part of a wider ‘CAP Money’ project. We also enjoyed working with Delirious? in producing some TV shows and a couple of adverts - all of which you will see snippets from in the showreel.We can’t wait to see what 2008 brings by way of shiny images and enjoyable filmsHope you enjoy!

Spikey Mikey

Filed under: General — nick @ 10:29 am

Apparently today was the start of “my best friday ever” as i munched down a ’spikey mikey’ from our creative director. Hmmm not entirely convinced but i’ll see what the situation is like by the end of the day. ;)
