Just take a look at what we’ve done for our clients and friends at Natural Motion, the game developers/animation pioneers. Natural Motion entrusted in us the honour of producing their new logo animation.

The brief was simple; conjure-up some moving-image sorcery that faithfully represented the Natural Motion brand of animation excellence.

So that’s just what we did. It wasn’t easy mind you; quite a few man hours and sore eyes go into producing animations of this visual depth.

Natural Motion showed us examples of what they liked and gave us certain themes that needed to be included. We were then left to our own devices to come up with a storyboard and theme that fitted what they were after.

The client asked specifically for the particle effect that can be seen throughout the background of the animation. Using Adobe After Effects, we used the plug-ins Trapcode Particular for all the abstract design elements which form the glowing wave, and explosion. Trapcode Form was used in the original version to create the exploding sphere.

After several drafts in which various elements/frames were removed on the client’s request, we finally came to a result that everyone was happy with. Click the image below to have a look at the finished result.

Behold an updated sneaky peak at one of the new areas on the new The Pixel website. Set to go live around…soon, the anticipation in the web-world mounts as to what will be revealed. Could the new website be the key to unlocking the secret mysteries of the internet, like how to get on Google page 1? We think it might.

Many of you will know that our new, and already somewhat prestigious website, is in development. We hope you will not judge thee, and embrace our goal to bring together all the wondrous forms of digital design to create a unique experience for our blessed users.

Whilst one must not reveal secrets, oh know, I thought however now would be a good a time as any to show-off one of our sturdy vessels. This somewhat splendid digital model is currently in the virtual ship yard. It takes the form of an air ship which resembles those seen in the animated movies (Howl’s Moving Castle, Spirited Away) by acclaimed director Hayao Miyazaki.

We hope you’re as impressed with our efforts as we hoped you would be, and that you’ll return to our great blogland to see what great trickery we conjured up next.

So long my web-based friends, and farewell.
