Nexus Productions and Loose Moose Ltd
Nexus Production L.T.D
This company, founded in England, focuses on working
with creative people; from the directors, writers,
designers, producers, and animators.
They are looking forward to be involved with the very
best animation. To do this, they haven't always stayed
at home; they work with
talented people from across the world including
Stockholm, Tokyo, and Paris.
Nexus work in a wide range of techniques including 2D,
3D, Flash, puppets, clay animation and traditional
techniques but the good design
and strong story telling are their important elements.
LOOSE MOOSE
Loose Moose is a creditable and relatively new
animation company that has gained much achievement.
Loose Moose was established in 1994 by producer Glenn
Holberton and director/animator Ken Lidster in USA.
Holberton had previously
produced the immensely popular children's series Thomas
the Tank Engine and Lidster had won the l991 Best
Animated Short BAFTA
Award for Balloon. A year later, Ange Palethorpe a class
mate of Ken and director and animator, and a former fine
arts student and subsequent
graduate of the National Film and TV School, whose short
film Altered Ego, had garnered a Gold Hugo, in Chicago,
and Best First
Film at the Ottawa International Film Festival, joined
their team.
The core of the company is a close knit group of ten to
twelve people, namely Peter Williamson Head of Art,
Dotti Colvin and John Shearlock
as animators, but with a very large pool of regular
freelancers who come and work according to the needs of
the productions.
Loose Moose is best known for its commercials on food
products, parliamentary elections and… by use of
multi-technical animations from
stop frame model animation to computer-generated imagery
animation; and furthermore by working with world famous
celebrities. Loose
Moose has also acquired many awards from festivals.
