Kettle

I just stumbled upon kettle which is an animation compony 'a different kettle of fish' I just love their stuff! I've watched a few of their showreels now and I'm just blown away and want to be able to do that! I especially love the footblakk part where the guy almost is made out of dust. I would love to be able to make something like that!!

About kettle
They do 3D cross media and visual effects
They find creative solutions to complex problems
They are not tied down to any particular style or method
The people involved are Jules Stevenson- founder+director, Phin Glynn-producer and list maker, Neil Canterbury-VFX supervisor and math genuious.
They've done things for adidas, john lewis, Lindt, syfy, carlsburg, talk talk, nokia, soooo many big companies!

I like how in their work they tell people how it was made for example under the lindt one it says

"Working with Leo Burnett, we were tasked with creating Lindt's very first foray into digital, with the creation of some high production value banners.Research was difficult, with most of the research items disappearing into people's bellies. Never the less, we fought through, producing a fine looking animation piece that both client and agency were more than happy with.
The unwrapping process was a challenge, forcing us to use a plethora of tricks from our armoury.We used Softimage ICE cloth for the base simulation, with multiple stacking ICE trees on top to add secondary effects and clean up the sim where required. The chocolate was simulated in Realflow, with additional processing in ICE" 
I think I have found another company that inspires me and that i would like to work for.
I think.

shutterbug challenge

So I do this thing called shutterbug challenge which is a Facebook photography competition. the themes this time were still life for advanced and food for novice. I won the advanced category!!! my sister won the novice! even though she's more advance than i am...not sure how that works... I'm well chuffed! never won before!!

I think i could use my photography knowledge in my animations like shot framing and lighting and my love of depth of field. I think i would like to go more in depth into shot framing and animation and maybe study what works for what reason and why we do it etc.
