Grand Opening

Client: QVC Producer: Anna Kersey Animation/Design/Edit: Michael Lomon

Anna had decided upon a 'circus' related brief which would be a full 30 seconds of graphics, using various colourful characters to transition between brand logos.

With only a five day deadline from concept to final render - I had to keep things pretty minimal. Style influences included Jiri Trnka's excellent 1951 Merry Circus and a fair few vintage circus posters. All elements were drawn and animated in After Effects with the exception of a couple of Cinema 4D assets such as the invitation at the beginning.

European Tour 2012

Client: QVC Producer: Rob Watkins Animation/Design/Edit: Michael Lomon

Following Rob's clear and concise storyboards, we follow our leading lady as she journeys across Europe, encountering (conveniently it must be said) plenty of QVC sold products and a little romance to boot!

Everything in this promo was drawn and animated in After Effects. With only five days to complete, it was a bit touch and go. We limited our product range and I had to reign things in a bit in terms of environmental/character detail. However with the freedom to introduce transitions and explore some character animation, this was a very rewarding project for me and I hope some of that enthusiasm shows in the final promo.
