Shepherd East Conference Video

Matthew Robson has completed a fully animated conference video for Shepherd East.

Produced for Motus.tv Matthew animated seven separate characters for a 2 minute short "(it was) a testament to how far technology has moved forward over recent years." say Matthew.

Each of the characters (apart from Bruce Forsyth) are members of the Shepherd team, with the use of many 'in jokes' and personal catch phrases, the video "got a rapturous applause when shown at the conference." Matthew says of the production "Technically, it was using some new custom modified animation software that allowed me to dial in a much more nuanced performance for each character. Add to that the fact that style wise I’m moving away from black keylines in favour of coloured ones, and towards simpler, light and colour focused backgrounds with no keyline at all, all go to make it one of the jobs I’ve had the most fun with this year."

Robson Goes For The Olympics Matthew Robson

Matthew Robson’s fun and bubbly style was put to perfect use recently with an illustration of London’s new Olympic Institute. Commissioned by Neil Dickson at PA Consulting, the job was won from a sample and involved a series of visuals for a pitch the PA are doing to show how the Olympic Institute could be re-purposed after the games in 2012. The job required a much higher level of detail than Matthew normally works to, and also combined both hand-drawn and 3D elements. The results led to some interesting angles in the background, and overall makes for one outstanding illustration.
