OFFF titles, Barcelona 2016

  • Ciaran O Connor

Goddamn, yet another collaboration with Aardman and macho man himself, Gavin Strange along with Aardman’s creative director Merlin Crossingham for the main titles for OFFF Barcelona 2016. As it happens, I animated just about half of the motion design here, with Merlin taking care of the stop-motion awesomeness. Knowing that this was coming up in May of 2016, Gav asked me to help out as much as possible. For all the guys involved who work on a salary for Aardman, it was work as usual. For me, renting a desk from Aardman, freelancing with them every few months and at this point, between projects, it was a freebie. As there was nothing to invoice against – strictly a portfolio piece for all involved – when some extremely tedious, yet well paid corporate work kept rolling in, I passed it on to the folks at Aardman to finish themselves. So basically, one of those classic scenarios.
