PROJECT: BRAND FILM // CLIENT: SONY ENTERTAINMENT NETWORK
Watch the Video
We have spent the past few months conceiving, producing and directing a huge viral brand film for Sony Entertainment Network. The project is another exciting collaboration with our good friends over at Studio Output who gave us the challenge to create a film that both celebrates "ultimate entertainment" and also showcases a host of Sony's hottest products and the services that the Sony Entertainment Network offers.
The project was a really ambitious one with an extensive pre-production period in order to put on a live event over two jam-packed shoot days and two locations involving a massive cast and crew including set designers, illustrators and graffiti artists, as well as a body popper, a live band performance, a light sculpture, a room full of TVs, a massive warehouse cinema and, last but by no means least, the most insane driving simulator you've ever seen!
The post production was completed almost entirely in-house except for some very nifty visual effects by the über-talented Analog Studio and the grade which was handled once again by James Tillett up at MPC.

PROJECT: MUSIC VIDEO // CLIENT: WARNER
What a lot of fun this was just before Christmas! A full-on high-energy performance video, with a twist, for the fantastic Clement Marfo & The Frontline, featuring Kano.
Known for their energetic and irrepressible live shows, last year saw CMFT gain early radio support from Zane Lowe, Huw Stephens and Semtex. They were also selected for MTV's 'Brand New for 2012' list and played live with a wide range of artists including Plan B, Example and Florence and The Machine.
This year the guys have already been nominated for T4's 'Rising Stars 2012' so keep you're eyes peeled and remember, you heard it here first!

PROJECT: MUSIC VIDEO // CLIENT: SONY/SYCO
Our first big pop promo for Cher Lloyd's all important debut single, "Swagger Jagger". It was a highly ambitious project for what was Cher's first ever solo music video, with several different setups and locations, choreographed dance routines, breakdancers, green screen performances, a huge location shoot and a whole heap of CGI madness!
Working closely with Cher's brand/art directors Studio Output, we teamed up once again with our good friends at Mainframe who worked on a multitude of animations and visual effects to help us create Cher's 'urban wonderland'.

Two TVC's for Innocent Smoothies. The brief was to re-design the Innocent characters into 3D whilst still retaining their cartoon quality and was a great opportunity for our new partner, Marcus, to use his 3D skills with some nice rigging, tracking and compositing.
We bought onboard our good friends Steve Glashier to direct, Joe Dyer as DOP and Sean Stuart and Jacob Swan as shoot producers. The edit, grade and finishing was all done up at Fifty Fifty Post Production.INNOCENT
