After the success of our promotional videos for the launch of the ‘Madcatz Eclipse‘ product line, we were asked to produce more promotional videos for the launch of the RAT gaming mice.  Now these are the mice of all mice!  Didn’t know such powerful devices exist, but they do, and they were a great subject to work on and produce 3 videos for.  The videos were played at the CeBit 2010 in Germany, and on the new ‘Madcatz Cyborg’ website.  You can view the videos at http://www.cyborggaming.com and by navigating to the RAT 9, 7, or 5 product pages

FA have helped with the new Peugeot RCZ promotional web video before the launch of this snazzy new model. We worked with our friends just down the road Hurricane Media, and provided the light art streaks, through tracking light artist Michael Bosanko’s strokes.  It was great to see Michael at work to produce the end shot of the video. You’ll probably be familiar with his other commissions through the Talk Talk and the X Factor light art stings (visit http://www.michaelbosanko.com). Top guy, and real pleasure to watch work.. Clever stuff! Here’s the link to the video http://www.peugeot.co.uk/eburst-the-new-peugeot-rcz-video

Have finally completed 2 series for the Channel 5 show build a new life in the country.  Has been a long process working with the lovely ‘Creative Saint’ ‘Creative Saint’in Oxford street, with FA suppling the 3d flythrough graphics.  Well done guys – Job done – got there in the end!  The latest series is currently being broadcast on Channel 5 for all to enjoy, and you can catch up with the series here!
