Raman Djafari directs a team of 15 guest animators from around the globe for Coldplay’s latest single, "feelslikeimfallinginlove." This is a really special one for us; it’s everything we try to champion in our work: craft, collaboration, and heart ✨ Represented through various animation styles (stop-motion, 2D & 3D digital painting, oil pastels on paper, watercolour, and laser cut felt!), we travel through an episodic narrative split into three chapters: 1. Love, 2. Searching & 3. Finding. We're unbelievably proud of how it's turned out and of everything Raman's achieved. Big love to the whole team 🌙 Watch the full thing here 👉 https://lnkd.in/ewgjxu6V Joe Byrne Alex Halley Alexander Handschuh Jon Mealing Sam Seager John Malcolm Moore Rob Ward Maria Cecilia Tedemalm Simon Lucas Howe Simone Ghilardotti Ultraherz Christoffer Jarlbak Overgaard Jacob M Wolf Joe Totti James Barber Calum O.

OWNED BY YOU. RIGHT BY YOU. 👥 Director Sam Gainsborough gives us all a masterclass on the impact of stop motion animation for visual storytelling in this promo for Co-Op. Made by printing each sequence onto individual receipts (with 899 total frames!) and then animated by hand in stop motion under the rostrum. “We had a wonderful printing team, who would print and cut each frame of the film through the receipt printer, then they would shoot all the frames in stop-motion animation. It was immediately exciting to see the textures and delightful imperfections that the printing process created. It’s always lovely working with a new process/ technique - and it was a joy to discover that receipt printers naturally create such lovely errors, textures and details. The film looks very simple, but a huge amount of work went into creating it. We were lucky to work with an incredible team of animators - led by Reg Isaac, whose naturalistic approach gave the characters in the film real authenticity. I love the character designs which were based off initial sketches by Stephen McNally. To me, the world feels very true and real - although it all exists within the tiny, slightly glitchy print on the receipt paper." ✨ More from Sam: https://lnkd.in/eXEFNWxE Sam Gainsborough Bart Yates Joe Byrne Sarah Mavity Molly Turner Daniel Quirke Jonathan Parker Chris Birch James Hudson Jason Keet Alessia Small Victoria Ellis Ness Burns Sandy Liddle Ronnie McQuillan Max Halstead Kristiana Zhekova Aida Garcia Veda Ben Chaude-Woodman Robbie Ross Pearce Crowley Paulo Fernandes Gordon Allen Brin Frost Andy Biddle Robin Jackson Promise Fayose Hannah Morris Joe Eckworth Holly Butcher George Warren Joe Tottie Daniel Lambert Jacob Wolf Clément Danveau Andy McPherson Bob Wolkers Robert Milne Tim Dillnutt Yagizhan Miditli Irene Corral de Gaspar Weiden Wong Denise Dean Alison Oxborrow Angeline De Silva Eleanor March Gerry Galleo Helena Bonastre Jay Wren Jessica Leslau Katherine Spangenberg Natasha Pollack Ryan Fairbanks Simon Swales Wayne Maslin Simone Ghilardotti Sally Heath Luca Schenato Luke Simpson Rob Ward Vik Jardine Absolute Juliette Wileman Sally Heath Sam Ashwell Lucas Trigg Olivia Ray

We teamed up with young director and frequent collaborator Daniel Quirke on this promo for the Edinburgh International Festival 💫 The unique look was created by projecting animation directly into water vapour. We also experimented with shooting plates of smoke, talcum powder, vapour, and lens flares before compositing them all together for the final film. Daniel is a BAFTA-nominated animation director and a graduate of National Film & Television School.
