Tomorrow Project Manager Courtney and 2D Generalist Animator Iky will be heading down to North East Expo. We had a little trouble when booking the tickets so if you see a incredibly tall person in a trench coat sneaking around, we assure you they are not suspicious and you should network with them. See you all tomorrow!

BBC Teach Religious Stories

At Arcus we are constantly learning new things which is why we love working on educational content! We recently had the pleasure of animating a series of religious stories for BBC Teach. Full versions of each video are available on the BBC Teach website.

GDC

Look out for our animation reel at GDC! Trailers and Cutscenes for video games have been some of our favourite projects over the years and something the whole team loves to get stuck into. Thanks to creative UK we've been receiving mentoring, support and advice on how to make this a bigger part of our studios output from industry veteran Clemens Wangerin. He's been absolutely fantastic and we're thrilled to say Clemens will be showcasing our work at GDC

Half term is here! If you are looking for something to do why not check out The Stephenson Steam Railway Museum? Dedicated to the pioneers of the railway George Stephenson and his son Robert Stephenson, the museum also features a number of animations by Arcus bringing history to life!

As the RSPC's big garden bird watch has come to an end we wanted to showcase some work we did as part of BBC Bitesize's KS2 Science program. Showing the may wonderful ways flowering plants spread their seeds including through birds! Yuck!

What's an animatic? Despite, Microsoft Word still marking it as a misspelling, it's the name given to animated storyboards! An important step in preproduction, animatics allow us to combine the storyboards with audio on a timeline to test the pacing and flow, allowing us to previsualise and refine an edit before the costly process of actually animating it. Animatics are one of the last stages before you get stuck in with the animation itself so they're worth taking the time to get right!

National Institute for Health Research

Throwback to our work with Newcastle Universities National Institute for Health Research. Newcastle Health Innovation brings world-class research, NHS and partners together. We loved the challenge of reflecting that with abstract visuals demonstrating the interconnectivity between research, science and technology. It was such a pleasure to work with one of our amazing local universities. Check out our Website: https://lnkd.in/eEKYMhcg

Its been nice to be back in our North East based studio!

It's National Science Fiction day and we wanted to celebrate one of the most influential but little known authors of the genre, Olaf Stapledon. Stapledon is known as one of the fathers of visionary science fiction, a major influence upon writers such as Doris Lessing and Brian Aldiss, who, like Arthur C Clarke were changed utterly by his writing. A philosopher, educationalist and social reformer, linked to pacifist movements in the 1930s, Stapledon's novels promote the great potential of humanity, and, with the backdrop of totalitarian facism and communism, our species' tendency towards self destruction. Arcus Studios' first immersive film was an adaptation of his signature novel 'Star Maker'. We're incredibly proud to be associated in this small way, with such a unique person as Olaf Stapledon.

Throw back to December of 2022 this lovely piece of animation created by Junior Animator Iky as part of personal development. The penguin is very cute, I will be asking santa for one this year...

For 100 years the Dunston Silver Band performed at Saltwell Park, entertaining Sunday park goers young and old. In 2012 funding was cut and the band ceased performing at Saltwell. Arcus Studios sought to memorialise the band, and the relationship of Saltwell Park and its animal inhabitants, to the band. Unfortunately, due to the great Arcus server crash of 2013 only fragments of the project remain, but we dug these Christmas memories out of the Archive. The project was Created and Produced by Michael Gandham in collaboration with The Dunston Silver Band and Magnetic Events.
