Objective

An animation studio outside London in 2009 is competing against cities with more studios, more clients and more people who have done it before. The only durable answer is to be demonstrably good at the thing itself, and to be able to show it quickly.

In his own words at the time: a team of fresh young dynamic minds working together to produce contemporary digital designs and animations that set us apart from our competitors, a full-service studio in both 2D and 3D character animation and visual effects.

Creative response

Co-director from 2009 to 2011, and the studio's sound. Music composition, sound design and foley across the studio's own reels and its client work.

What it produced

• 2D and 3D character animation and visual effects, as a full-service production studio
• The studio showreel, scored and sound-designed in-house
• Kumo Juniors, a separate reel with its own promotional film
• Client films: the Institute of Digital Innovation Christmas card, Writers Block's animated stories, Kuro, and the Maker Faire work
• A back catalogue that is still online, on the studio's own Vimeo channel

Why it matters to the rest of this wall

It is this studio's roster.

Kumo is also where the sound work came from. Eight of the eleven credits on the Sound Design page were produced through it or alongside it, which is why that page and this one describe the same two years from two directions.
