Kilogramme Animation - Into the Unknown

http://vimeo.com/7794420

Once again i couldn't find this video on youtube so click the link :).
'This title sequence by Kilogramme was from the show 'Into the Unknown' which was broadcast in 2005. It was made for Dreamscope productions and as the show was about haunted buildings we decided to make the titles from the point of view of someone who'd just been murdered or was about to commit murder.' The reason i wanted to look into this more is the fact that unlike their other work this seems to have a different style and stands out to me above the rest of their work!

Kilogramme Animation - Cold Caller (Wales campaign to tackle doorstep crime)

I couldn't find Cold Caller on youtube so im afraid you will have to click this link :)

The £1.8m campaign was created after following the case of Anne Cornock, aged 76, of Sully, Vale of Glamorgan, who was cheated out of £272,000 by a doorstep caller.
After watching the short advert i thought about what Kilogramme had mentioned on their blog ... they said they based their design style on disney's 101 Dalmations and this is very evident! It almost seems like your watching cruella deville trying to sneakily steal the puppies!

Kilogramme are a company thats specialise in Animation ... they are located on Newton Street Manchester!! Kilogramme was founded in 2005 and their very first project was to help Euro RSCG Riley to create an advertising campaign for Edgehill Uni. Kilogramme said 'they provided pretty much everything for this project including; music, design, animation and even a helicopter for one of their shots. Their advertising campaign work so successfully that the uni's enquiry rate doubled and they are still working with Edgehill Uni and RSCG Riley to this very day! As well as this they have also worked on a mini animated series on Dr Who, CBBC's 'Streetmonsters' and Metro for unit 9.

A quick snippet from their blog ... i think i will find this company very very very useful as they have kindly told us what softwear they have used too!!! VERY HELPFUL!


'Hello, Here's a public information film we've just finished for Euro RSCG Riley. It's to warn OAPs in Wales about rogue traders and distraction burglars. We based the design style on '101 Dalamtions' and used Flash and 3DSMAX to animate the main character. I think it's one of the most polished things we've ever done.
Animation was provided by Claire Grey, Craig Knowles, David Ridges and Christian Johnson.
Design by Craig Knowles.
Backgrounds by Chris Coady.
Ink and Paint by Sam Jones and Gill Biddle.
Direction by Jon Turner.'

Raw

I cam across this company while looking into my summer brief .... the majority of their work if not all of their work is graphic design but as a moving image student i should look at graphic design as it is a very important step in moving image!
However on the website they do have a very simple animation to show their 'company process' ... http://www.rawdesignstudio.co.uk/pages/process
