When our ace animator Jimi Newport told us he was working on a film for David Shrigley, it felt like a betrayal. Our beloved Jimi had climbed into bed with some other hussy, leaving us alone on a Friday night with nothing but ice cream and reruns of Scrubs for company. But then we remembered that Jimi is a freelancer and working for other people is quite a normal thing for him to do. Still, it doesn’t mean we have to like his film. Except we do.

Shrigley’s latest creation is a hilariously offbeat history of Scottish luxury knitwear manufacturer, Pringle. The film was unveiled last week at the launch of Pringle’s menswear collection in Milan. The three-minute animation is packed with Shrigley’s beautifully wonky illustrations, all brilliantly brought to life by our Jimi. Or James as he is called in the credits. Well, la-di-da Jimi.

We recently told you on our News section about our appearance in a video podcast made by design publishers Gestalten.

And now you can watch the video here – cos we’re dead clever and know all about embedding and the interweb and stuff.

Our latest film for Moblin is now being shown at trade shows. This time we’re demonstrating how Moblin’s Linux-based Operating System works on mobile devices.

We thought the best way to do this would be to have a giant cat roaming a city. OK, and have some explanation of how it actually works. But check out that cat here.

Rather lovely visualisations of flight paths over north America here.

 

Our very own Alex Maclean was recently interviewed by US Fox Business News on the topic, ‘Marketing in a Recession’.

Waiting in the interviewing room, the person he believed to be the presenter told him that he was ‘just going to get something’ – that he’d be ‘back in a minute’ to do the interview. Moments later, without any warning, Alex’s earpiece fired up and the live television interrogation began.

With this in mind, he’s amazingly calm and collected…

…Go Alex!
