BDH nominated for RTS Award for Seven Ages of Rock
Posted by Admin | 31.10.07
Congratulations to the team at BDH / Burrell Durrant Hifle in Bristol, who have been nominated for a Royal television Society Award for their work on SEVEN AGES OF ROCK.
The National 2007 RTS Awards held on 27th November at the Savoy will again, like most years, show that Bristol creatives, editors and camera people are some of the best in the UK!
BDH’s 360 design brand management for Seven Ages of Rock was described as a brilliant use of stills photography, album artwork and live action, including titles set to a pulsating track by The Damned that captured the raw energy, sweat and excitement of a Rock experience. Extracts from the work can be seen on BDH’s website www.bdh.net visit www.bbc.co.uk/music/sevenages
The seven-part series aired in May on BBC One and BBC Two and was produced for BBC Features department in Bristol by the same team (Series Producer by William Naylor and Series Editor Michael Poole) that worked on other critically-acclaimed music documentaries such as Soul Deep, Lost Highway and Walk On By.
Good Luck to the team on 27th November!
Tobacco Factory Talent Factory
Posted by Admin | 29.10.07
Have you ever wondered what the talented Tobacco Factory staff get up to when they’re not behind the bar? Talent Factory is a three-week show offering a glimpse into the creative world of the Tobacco Factory staff. Situated across the vast expanse of Tobacco Factory’s Café/Bar, it’s the staff’s turn to take over and serve up a visual feast for all the senses.
Curators and staff members, David Bain and Eleanor Farnham, describe the event as, “capturing the hidden talent that lurks behind the scenes of the Tobacco Factory.” “We are constantly surrounded by art work from outside artists,” explains David, “and now we have the freedom to show off what we get up to in the rest of our time.”
This totally unique exhibition offers the viewing public, not only the chance to have a sneaky glimpse into the world behind the Tobacco Factory, but also the opportunity to directly talk with the artists behind the work. “We’re really excited about the whole experience for those who come along. You’ll be able to enjoy the artwork and then turn around and chat with the creator at the bar!” explains Eleanor.
The exhibition runs from 22nd Oct – 10 November. For further information: www.tobaccofactory.com
Light Up Bristol gets the green light
Posted by Admin | 23.10.07
College Green will again be home to the world’s most powerful projectors this December as the city’s leading creative brains come together to put on a festive light spectacular for the whole city.
Bristol Media and the West of England Design Forum have joined forces to stage the event, which will see eight of the city’s leading creative agencies and individuals work together on the project which will run from 17 – 21st December.
Mike Bennett, Chair of Bristol Media says:
“It’s a fantastic opportunity to once again get some of the most innovative and creative people in one room to work on a project of this size. The event had an incredible wow factor last year and we want to build on its success by making this one even bigger and better.”
He continued:
“This year it will not just be static image but we’ll be creating 400ft animations all with a winter wonderland theme which will stretch across the whole of College Green and the Cathedral.”
Clare Reddington of iShed, who are producing the event, stated:
“Ideas and the concepts are already being generated by freelancers, digital designers and marketing agencies including Beef, Enable Interactive, E3 , Greenlit Media, McCann Erickson, Oakwood DC, Play Nicely, Spike Design and Thirteen. Some of the ideas are absolutely stunning and we are confident this year’s event will be one of the biggest and most spectacular light and moving image shows the UK has ever seen.”
“We want to make it a great family night out so we’ll also have music and festive food stalls. And we plan to give it a real winter feel by having a huge snow blizzard every night.”
The event has already secured financial support from the South West Regional Development Agency, Watershed, South West Screen, University of the West of England Faculty of Creative Arts and Endemol West.
