Working 9 to 5 ....

I just realised i never actually mention anything on here about what i do as a job or show you any work i have helped produce at the studio so i thought maybe its time i did.

Basically..........

I work in the animation industry in Soho London at a lovely company called Studioaka we produce idents, adverts and short films.

I studied at college to get into the industry through a diploma in foundation studies (art & design)  and then onto a degree in Animation Arts. I wasn't always certain that i wanted to work in the animation industry, originally i wanted to be an illustrator but a very unproffessional (and looking back quite rude) tutor told me it was a dead end job, no prospects, no money and no life (which of course is not always the case)

So a anyway i ended up realising the college i wanted to go to, had an animation course on its list, so i went along to the open day, liked what i saw and the rest is history.

So since being here i have had a hand in helping with many idents adverts and short films that the studio has produced. Below is our latest Advert fot Statoil and in the words of my friend Marie Margaux-Tsakiri_Scanatovits.........

"A stunning 60 second spot, Directed by Studio AKA's David Prosser for the Norwegian oil and gas company Statoil. Commissioned by McCann Oslo, the piece is a magical combination of 3d animation with traditional 2d line work and beautifully artworked elements.

Set to music composed by Johann Johansson (of VARMINTS fame), the piece is set in a girl’s bedroom at storytime. As the father tells his story, his daughter starts her fantasy adventure on a journey through an animated underwater world to find treasure. The story ends back in her bedroom as the father says good night."

Below are some more pieces that the studio released in the past few months for the Meth Project Website.
The Meth Project is an organization that concentrates on informational campaigns about crystal methamphetamine. The six short films produced by Studio Aka use real interviews and lovely animation to tell the tragic stories of previous meth addicts. I worked on 'Hailey'and 'Rochelle', doing hand drawn animation and using Flash and Photoshop.
