New Staff!

Wednesday August 10th, 2011 by raymond

Through the last number of months theres been a number of staff changes (I just remembered that a lot of these need to be updated on the site), and indeed general company structural changes to boot, with a lot of our people moving on to other pastures. We wish them all the very best in what they are doing too.

As numbers have fluctuated we have recently sought to introduce some new blood and make sure we are running at our best.

First to come through the door will be Nancy Iida, our bright and cheery new office administrator. We our delighted that we have with us someone so genki and ready to support us as we begin the next stage for Wedovideo. We very much look forward to her first day, 24th August.

As you may be asking we have also the advertisement for the project manager. This however is proving to be a bit trickier for us as we are yet still seeking someone who can show the ability and match our culture. We know you’re out there somewhere! Come come!

In the meantime we have a BBQ to look forward to this Friday to sooth the recent heat that is baking Tokyo after a somewhat lack-lustre summer thus far.

Enjoy the sun peeps!

Trollbäck + Company

Trollbäck + Company is a New York-based creative studio producing graphics, design and live action for advertising, broadcast, and entertainment. Founded in 1999 by Jakob and Lisa Trollbäck, the studio is led by creative directors Jakob Trollbäck and Joe Wright and has received dozens of creative-industry awards.

The interesting thing to notice is that Trollbäck + Company was created by someone who didn’t come from a design background. Jakob started as a DJ in Northern Europe and became interested in type and graphics in motion. He puts very special attention to sound and music in his work and even though is studio doesn’t create the most complicated pieces of motion design in the world, their works are very much about simplicity and feeling, rather than simply nice eye candy.

We feel close to this company as we also create motion graphics for events and show openings, and we are gaining ground with experience and skill to someday match their level. Their work is always a great source of inspiration.

Here is a selection of their most impressive videos, including this great video below for P&G

Creative & Post-Production Studios Around the World

Wednesday July 28th, 2010 by alex

Our goal in these series is to introduce the most prestigious and famous companies creating videos all around the world.

These studios inspire us in many ways and are a great source of creative thinking in our daily works – We don’t consider them as competitors, but rather as elder brothers, companies that have been in the market for a while and that have lead motion design to its current position.
