SO ltd

SO ltd is a 3D and Web design company in Manchester. They have a client list that includes work for:

-Brothers International Europe

-Brothers UK

-Hitachi

-ICS

-Stay in front LTD

and many more...

I found one of their 3D animations for Brother International Europe it encompasses a pop up book and takes you through a story of how wireless printers and other Brother products are the future! I don't particularly think this is very original since i have seen this 'pop up book' idea way too many time and it better quality! But i will let you decide for yourself (i couldn't find one on you tube so you will have to click the link!)

Maya Animation

As i was looking at their work i found a small animation where the surroundings (backgrounds) and some of the elements in the animation were created in Maya and the characters were pencil drawn. I was really interested and intrigued to see how two types of animation work together!
