"I have used Botka Collective on numerous projects over the years and am always impressed by their focus, speed, quality and flexibility as we move through projects together. Sometimes a brief is littered with ambiguity, and they are great at asking good questions and wrestling things to the ground to ensure they are on the right track.
At the end of the day, they deliver great results that I have been really happy with and in turn, so have my clients."

Challenge

Our friends at Colours & Shapes tasked us with creating concert visuals for Amanda Cook's song 'Flagship.' The challenge? They needed it in under a week.

Solution

We modeled the ship in 3D to give us maximum flexibility for our tight deadline. We combined that with hand drawn and textured compositing effects to give the piece an organic, hand drawn look and feel.

Approach

Working closely with Colours & Shapes who were designing the stage and doing the live installation, we created an animatic that would fit there screen designs. The concept eventually changed slightly for the final piece, but the overall idea and flow remains.
