2D Animation & Motion Graphics

An area of video we excel in is motion graphics and animation production. We make use of the latest available software (Adobe After Effects, Final Cut X, Adobe Premiere, Photoshop, Illustrator, 3DS Max, Cinema 4D and more) we also keep an eye on the latest design trends to make sure we stay ahead of the curve. New plugins for our software are constantly being released allowing new design styles to be acheived. We've recently made use of some great real time plugins Plexus, Newton 2, and Element 3D for Adobe After effects. With Stormy Studio behind your projects you'll know your animation and video will make use of the best design capabilities in the industry. Please take a look at our showreel and portfolio to see our recent work, we'd also love to hear about video styles you've seen that you'd like us to base an idea on.

3D Modelling, Rigging and Animation

With over 15 years experience working in 3D animation we've seen it grow and become the standard format of the movie industry as well as corporate and online video. 3D is now so affordable it can be used in all manner of video work. We're able to model products, environments and characters from scratch for use in original videos all from our studio near Plymouth in the South West of England.. We can also make use of numourous 3d model downlaod websites like turbosquid.com which allow us to quickly populate a scene with assets for a low cost. We can then animate the scenes to the highest standard, render (finalise the look and feel) the animation using the latest technology as well as harness online render farms saving time and money on animation production. We then mix the 3d rendered footage together in our compositing software to perfect the final result and add any additional 2D effects. As well as creating 3d models and animation we can also produce steroscopic renders meaning the footage can be delivered in a format suitable for 3D tvs and devices. Please check out our showreel and portfolio pages to see the 3D work we have produced recently.

Camera Tracking, Rotoscoping and Compositing

Recent software advances mean we can now offer advance blockbuster style video effects and triacks at a relatively low cost. Until recently camera tracking and rotoscoping were slow and costly processes. Using our professional grade software we can now put video footage through our systems and camera track the footage creating a digital copy of the camera moves used in the original footage. This allows us to quickly and easily add 3D and 2D visuals into the footage creating some truly exciting coporate video visuals. Whether it's to add text boxes that move along above people in a scene, remove branding and signage, adding in extra buildings and city scapes or creating your own alien space ship invasion. The latest improvements in this area allow us to utilize our fantastic motion graphics and animation skills and mix them seamlessly into filmed scenes of live action footage.
