We’ve been bringing Christmas cheer to our clients for over 20 years - here’s a look back at some ads from previous campaigns. If you’re allergic to sparkles, we strongly recommend that you LOOK AWAY NOW.
Thanks to Ardmore Advertising for asking Streetmonkey to the produce their “Driver or Passenger” commercial for the NI Department for Infrastructure. Being on-set during an actual (although carefully choreographed) car crash was incredibly nerve-racking. I held my breath for the eternity between “cut” and the stunt driver giving us the thumbs up.
Doorman and the Duck 2: VFX Breakdown
As well as animating the 3D duckling, we also incorporated Christmas decorations, tweaked window reflections and added weather effects to The Collective’s live action footage
The Doorman and the Duck 2
Congratulations to Hastings Hotels on the launch of their new Christmas video, a sequel to their 2019 epic "The Doorman And The Duck".
Their new video, "The Doorman And The Duck 2" features the same unbearably adorable duckling. This time he's on a mission to return a lost gift card to its rightful owners.

We're starting a very busy few weeks with a spring in our steps - just like this jaunty, faux-stop-motion caveman... We might be feeling a bit less springy by mid-April lol #bringcoffee #3danimation #cinema4d #3d #animation #maxon #c4d #3dstopmotion
Here's a short "behind the scenes" video to show how we constructed the 3D fish tank in our recent Fibrus TV ad for Genesis Advertising, plus a closer look at Buffy the buffer fish
Lockdown fashion. Who’s bothering with long trousers these days?
Still working from home! Hope you’re all safe and well and have plenty of bananas!
Tough day at the office!

Cute Octopus
"My client wants a cute animated 3D octopus mascot, do you think you'd be able to do that?"
Dunno, let's see...

No PSNI helicopters were harmed in the making of this video!
Happy belated 15th birthday to us!
15! It's the atomic number of phosphorus, it's the name of those horrible Northern Irish bun-like things full of marshmallow and crushed biscuits, and if Streetmonkey were a person, at 15 years old it'd be slap-bang in the middle of puberty. Like most December babies, Streetmonkey's 15th birthday slipped by almost unnoticed, lost in a flurry of work parties and project deadlines. But 15 is a long time in business years, so to mark the event, we've put together a short video, hilariously incorporating the number 15 into a few video clips. Enjoy!
Van Morrison's "Roll with the Punches" album cover (3D version)
Finally, we managed to make a working cover video! We've made several attempts in the past but they've always been a bit temperamental. Original photograph © Richard Wade.
Finish Powerball
Sorry for the lack of updates recently but we've had an exceptionally busy January!
After three days of filming in and around Belfast, our new live action Translink commercial for Ardmore Advertising is now mid-way through post-production and is looking great already.
We've just about finished our latest animation for Texthelp. This one is a bit unusual and features some memorable characters in exotic locations. We can't wait for the opportunity to show it off as soon as it's officially launched.
Our ninety-second long animation for MakeMarks was showcased to a private audience at a corporate event for Finish Powerball in Amsterdam today. It featured photorealistic custom-liveried F1 cars in a dramatic race to pole position. Unfortunately we can't say too much more about it but here's a VERY SHORT clip to whet your apetite, it was created in 3D using our new render engine.
Reconstruction of HMHS Britannic docked in Belfast harbour
Just in case you missed the BBC NI broadcast of 360 Production's "Titanic's Tragic Twin: The Titanic Disaster" last week, it's being broadcast nationally on BBC2 this coming Monday 5th December at 9pm. Streetmonkey created and composited the 3D reconstructions of the Britannic used throughout the show, including this shot used in the title sequence (which was filmed by one of our CAA approved drone pilots).
Kia sponsors "I'm a Celebrity…"
We've just updated our existing sponsorship stings commisioned by RLA for "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here". We created eight stings in total, each featuring the latest vehicles in the Kia range. They're broadcast before, during and after "I'm a Celebrity…" on Saturday nights on RTÉ.
BBC Election 2016
Here's a preview of our latest collaboration with the BBC. It's a trail for tonight's "The Good Friday Agreement Generation" Election 2016 show at 9pm.
