research

so i'm starting at MGV in a couple of days so I decided to just do a bit of research into the company and ive looked at some other animatics online.

if you want to check out the website here it is http://www.mgv.co.uk
this company have been around for a long time, just over 20 years and they've worked on projects for some really high profile clients...i hope they dont expect too much!

ive looked at some pretty good animatics but the ones that really interest me are the ones i found for the band Gorillaz, they are a supergroup but instead of being shown as themselves the musicians decided to represent themselves as made up cartoon characters.


i think these animatics are really well done, and after you compare them to the actual music video you can see that theyve really stuck true to the initial animatic. The use of simplistic movements in the majority of the band shots is balanced really well with the quite in depth animated areas of the rapper character and i think theyve done a good job of making it simple when it needs to be and then more complicated when its needed, when things need to be more precise.

heres the animatic and the music video to their most famous song 'Clint Eastwood'
