4mations animations go live
Posted 25/09/08
We've been busy beavering away with sister company Rubber Republic on a number of pieces of animated content to promote the launch of 4mations.tv - Channel 4 and Aardman's new animation uber-destination. Check out one of our 4mations animations here.
Prisoner of Love
Posted 26/08/08
We're busy brewing up some new work. But in the meantime, this just came through on the C21 newswire:
"Love is on the air for Holland's ex-convicts.
Dutch pubcaster Avro has greenlit Prisoner of Love, a controversial reality show in which women go on blind dates with newly-released criminals - not knowing what crime they were jailed for."
Check that out! That's like something we'd have written as a joke! The future is scarier than the past, and not only because its infront of us and we can worry our stupid little heads about it. Also because it involves prisoner love-ins.

Posted 24/01/08
Rubberductions are in the midst of post production on a large Microsoft web promo, featuring Windows Vista and Windows Live, for Bristol-based digital agency Mason Zimbler. The project was shot on a variety of High Def cameras during a four day shoot just before the Christmas break.

The website will be live in early March.
