You asked for it....You got it!

Finally, a new website with some sensible (!) information on it. Hope you like it!

Some of us have been working very hard on a number of exciting film, tv, and next -gen gaming projects all set to launch before the end of the year, including Call of Duty: Black Ops, the best iPhone game yet (watch this space!), two movie title sequences, and production design on a full-length animated feature. We're dipping our collective toes into the Architectural Visualisation game, and have just recently joined forces with one of the worlds most dynamic film and music publishing companies. Its "all go" as they say!

We'll be compiling our 2010 reel for your viewing pleasure very soon, in the meantime we sincerely hope you find the 2009 montage to your liking. Huge thank yous to the mighty John Graham (Quiver) and the amazing Architeq for their musical contributions, and all our families for their patience and understanding. It'll get easier. Promise!

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Infinity Ward / Activision

We are quite obviously thrilled to be associated with the biggest selling game of all time.

We delivered a package of motion graphic "cinematics" for US-based games developer Infinity Ward for the critically acclaimed release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Using a combination of 2D motion graphics, compositing and CGI, SPOV produced a number of digital map sequences, storyline transitions and information graphic sequences which seamlessly blend into game-play, respecting the art direction and flow of interaction.

SPOV delivered the sequences from concept design to final HD delivery working closely with the developers at Infinity Ward.

Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen

Luxoflux / Activision

Using a multitude of motion graphic interface sequences, typographic animation, compositing wizardry and 3D animation, Spov produced two long form campaign outro sequences along with a number of inter level cinematics for both the Autobot and Decepticon factions in the game.

We enjoyed an extremely close and co-operative relationship with both Activision and Luxoflux on Revenge of the Fallen. Working with such enthusiastic and forward thinking clients makes our job a great deal easier.

Spov produced the sequences from initial storyboards to final HD delivery.

Call of Duty: World at War

Treyarch / Activision

For Call of Duty: World at War, we worked closely with our friends at Treyarch and Activision (not forgetting our collaborators at Getty Images) to produce a complete package of cinematic sequences which hopefully inform, entertain and disgust viewers in equal measure.

Using propaganda posters and battle map influences we created a modern take on an historic subject using bold typography, colour and stylised 3D animation to convey the historical context and details of the upcoming missions.

SPOV delivered the sequences from concept design to final HD delivery.

Project Earth

Impossible Pictures / Discovery Channel

As part of Discovery's Project Earth, Spov delivered a combination of high end CG and animated information graphic sequences to aid the production's requirement to visualise a number of "geoengineering" schemes to combat global warming.

Using both completely computer generated imagery and live action compositing SPOV delivered over 100 sequences to an extremely high standard in a very tight timescale.

Future Weapons

The Discovery Channel

Spov were asked by the Discovery Channel to design and produce all CGI content for series one and two of Future Weapons.  This included all cinematic realisations of the proposed technologies, titles sequences, stings, ad bumpers and a variety of pieces to support promotional activity.  

We developed a unique 2.5D approach to producing the CGI content to illustrate numerous technological operations and effects which greatly reduced both turnaround time and production costs.
