Hot Knife contributed the special effects to this advert by creating flying jewellery, cheques and the digital cloth used for the backdrop pulldown sequence. Oh yes and the pouring gold.

Safety is imperative to National Grid and this animation was one of four commissioned upon the subject of &#8216;temporary works&#8217; such as construction. Hot Knife designed the 2D characters from concept, storyboarding the scenes before animating and combining them into the 3D rendered settings. Additional atmospheric elements such rain and foley were rendered to the [...]]]></description>

The myriad group required and Christmas card with a difference, animated ! This multilingual &#8216;ani-card&#8217; was well placed as an online thank you, and was rendered at HD using 3dsMax Mental Ray. The full sequences were composited and graded within after effects allowing greater freedom for the client&#8217;s requirements.

This HD 3D animation was rendered in-house using Hot Knife&#8217;s propietry built RenderFarm, which is great for producing high definition, high quality images on time for a tight turn-around. The sequence itself is to promote the laying of an electricty cable between Holland and the Uk and highlights the key elements required to make this happen.
