RSA, Meet Fred & Eric

Introducing our curated guide to a selection of F&E's work. Our diverse creative team can produce a range of animated styles, answering a wide spectrum of briefs. Creating films for screens and media platforms of all shapes and sizes. We can handle all elements of animation production from script-writing, voice-overs to sound design. We work with a broad range of visual techniques and creative approaches. What brings together all of our work into a unique house style, is F&E's passion for great storytelling, thoughtful design and expressive animation. Take a look below at a handful of work from our varied portfolio, we hope will be relevant to RSA's output.

*Must be viewed with sound! *

Oxfam: Stand as One - Album Ad

Presenting our live-action commercial for Oxfam Presents: Stand as One - Live at Glastonbury 2016 album. Made to promote Oxfam's Stand As One Campaign in support of displaced and separated refugee families.

Star of the commercial is the album vinyl sleeve, plus a selection of handmade and pre-made objects all controlled by a cast of helping hands. The sequence was shot in one take (take 30!) - with a bit of post production magic.

International Health Partnership - InfoFilm

IHP + is a group of partners committed to improving the health of citizens in developing countries. F&E produced this "about us" film in a textured illustrated style to explain their vital service.

PocketLister - InfoFilm

Using characters combined with colourful illustrations is a great way to convey a lot of information to an audience in an interesting way. As shown by this informational animation created for US realtor, PocketLister.

Google Crisis Response- InfoFilm

A painterly animation style introduces Google's Crisis Response system; an online tool which uses technology to collate and share vital information in times of emergency. The animation is based on a live-action edit created with a combination of stock footage and and footage shot in-house by F&E. Using the edit as a base, we painted the narrative frame by frame to create a cohesive hand-painted narrative.

This same technique of using footage as a base to "trace" the action could be applied to a variety of different illustration styles; from black and white ink drawings or cut-out paper illustrations to clean vector illustration styles. Using the footage as a base to gain realism in movement and settings.

O2 Fanbook - Promo Film

Presenting a mixed media film created as an internal film for O2. The Fanbook was shot using stopframe animation and extra elements composited in After Effects. Creating a neat showcase for a large amount of information, presented in and interesting and friendly way.

Betfair - Brand Film

An internal short film for Betfair using character animation and typography. Our main character narrates the script which was spoken by Betfair's CEO at a company conference.

F&E are always keen to develop and experiment with new styles. In addition to showcasing our current work, we are always keen to present references for additional animation styles we can produce. To create original and relevant animations that meet a specific brief.
