Just a list of the companies that had work mentioned inside of the magazine and what I found out when I chased them up.
Air-CGI produce brilliant Visualisations, they create photo-realistic models (prominantly of cars) but integrate them perfectly with real captured footage, meaning if you didn't know any better then you wouldn't have a clue of the CGI's presence.
Moving Picture Company have a piece featured called
Kerry LowLows 'Mouse', which I am sure you have all seen and would agree that the animation is ace. But there's more where that came from, they have a long list of animation and VFX clients, and as well as having produced amoungst the best TV Commercials I have seen they have also produced VFX for the following films:
- GI Joe. The Rise of Cobra
- Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
- Night at the Museum 2
- Watchmen
- Narnia, Prince Caspian
- Sweeney Todd
- James Bond: Quantum of Solace
- 10,000 BC
- Angels and Demons
- Surrogates
- Dorian Gray
These are just the lastest, the list of films is massive and worth a
look at. This company is huge and has branched into a lot of different areas regarding 3D. They are present in TV Broadcasting, Commercials, Films and Digital. They also have a 2D department.
Passion Pictures appear to be in a similar field to MPC, being quite prominant in commercials, not however breaking into film just yet. They are features for a piece called
Coke Zero's Happy Kingdom, which I might add is brilliant, and is done by a man called Pete Candeland. When looking at the Passion Pictures Showreel I couldn't help but notice my absolute favourite advert, the latest from
comparethemeerkat. I hope they turn this into a move, I love it. Oh, and the man responsible is Darren Walsh.
