Working with Faraday

2 minute reel for Faraday

This is a cut down two minute film/portfolio of some recent work that I think shows a wide variety of our work.

The reel covers:

Examples of how we work with narrative structure
The reel starts with an Oxford University project which engaged university staff across the globe. From a launch film to more explainer videos, this series of films aimed to engage and help users to access and use an online platform. We worked with Oxford from concept and script development through to filming and creating the website interface.

Next is NexTrust, and this film is a 7 minute report on an electric lorry pilot that launched in 2017 and and finished its trial in early 2018. We are currently filming with NexTrust on a similar project.

The National Theatre example is a more graphic based one, using 3D elements in line with the narrative storyboard.

Mixing live film with graphics
Here you will see a few methods where we have mixed graphics with a narrator, with footage and within 3D elements. The clients are 2degrees, Newsquest paper group and Schneider.

3D animated work
We are a creative film production company. We can produce our own 3D work, however more than often we work with more specialised 3D freelance studios – depending on the concept and brief we will use the freelancers we know will deliver what we are looking for. Based on brining product alive, I have included some recent 3D work and CAD/model based work here for you to look at.

2D work
From 3D to 2D, where we demo sites and interfaces. Usually breaking down the original artwork and animating it subtly to make a more fluid journey. Here I have shown the start of a walk through film in conjunction with the above Oxford University project.

2D character animation
Finally, info graphics and animated character films can be a great way of demoing projects and products. This shows one series we made where there were two main characters… the films explained teaching phonics and maths to students at primary level.

I hope this gives you a flavour of some of the things we could do.
Kind regards
Simon
