Scorch Motion are a London based design company who specialize Motion Graphics, Animation, Idents and Commercials to name a few. They have a very impressive client base that include big companies including Adobe, Channel 4, Nokia, O2, Samsung and Universal Music.

I came across the company when I seen there Motion Graphics commercial for the Nokia 3250 Mobile Phone. The commercial is quiet short but is created in a very unusual way that reminded me of the techniques that Tal Rosner created in his short film, Doppelganger. 

Doppelganger: Tal Rosner

The commercial starts off with a Mobile Phone which starts rotating and multiplying as it creates unusual shapes and colours. The idea is to promote the phone as a music phone and at the end of the commercial a pair of headphones appear on the phone.

I would love to have the chance have a portfolio crit with this company because they are also involved in channel rebranding, which is something I am going to do for my final major project. When I find out the dates that we are going London with University, I will contact this company to see if they could give me tips and advice for my final major project.

The Box

The Box are a design company from Manchester who were formed in 1997. They specialize in 3D animation, Broadcast graphics, Title sequences, TV commercials, Editing and Special FX. The Box has created work for clients such as BBC, Channel 4, Sony Music, Nike, Adidas and MTV2.

I came across the company after watching a program on Sky One called, Man Utd's Greatest Goals. The Box created the title sequence for the program which is done in a very unusual way for a football program. Most other programs normally show only footage of football for example Match of the Day and Soccer AM. However, The Box have created their title sequence in a comic book style using lots of illustrations. The sequence starts of with a sketch of the winning 1968 team and then turns into real footage as the team lifts the trophy. This technique is used throughout with different footballers changing from an illustrations to actual footage. I really like this technique and the comic book format works really well along side the mixed media piece.

I really like this company as a whole, and I would love the opportunity to meet with someone from the company to show my work so far and ask for tips and advice for my final major project. As I develop my ideas for my major project I will email the company to see if there is a chance to meet with someone.
