Nothing like The Dead Camel after a busy January…
For the last couple of years TBM has been striving to achieve ever-higher standards of artistic integrity and realism in our visualising and animatics, as clients desires and expectations rise higher and higher.
This means that we need better reference – particularly for children – that is more realistic than ever before.
Traditionally, when we are working on a photo-real project a lot of our production time can be spent searching for shots of children to be cast and then signed off by client before proceeding. Time, which would be better spent on finishing the job!
How to solve this problem? Throw a Party! Of course!!
Our Uber-Producer Debbie had the inspired idea of throwing a children’s party inside our local friendly photo-studio (the fantastic Studio 66). That way we could take loads of reference shots of our lovely sprogs for potential forthcoming jobs whilst distracting them with numerous games of Twister, Connect 4, Music, Dancing, Cake and loads of other lovely treats.
The whole afternoon was a roaring success, the kids had a wonderful time and the next time you commission Three Blind Mice, you may well up with one of our kids featuring in your research or pitch project.

We at threeblindmice know how important it is to show product placement in our visualizing particularly in end frames.
Here are a few of Threeblindmice’s successful animatic end frames. If you look closely you might see some resemblance to the finished advert.
Flora: XBOX Kinect
Our motion team worked with Lucy Swallow at KROW communication to produce this great animatic. Artists Paul D, Martin B and Mark O lined and coloured frames, whilst our in house editing team – lead by Sam – animated it all together – we even recreated the games footage!

Colmans Beef Gravy
Threeblindmice worked with Dave Graham and his team at Karmarama to produce this fantastic animatic of a dancing gravy bull. Our dancing Bull had to have attitude, great dance moves and most of all he had to look like gravy. Challenge accepted!

Kit Kat Crane.
JWT developed the brilliant concept for their clients, KitKat and briefed us with frames and direction. House artists, Paul and Aaron drew and coloured the frames, which were then edited together by head of motion Sam.

Stay tuned for more ……
We are used to the unpredictable weather here in the UK however the past few weeks the weather has been rather unexpected. We have had trees falling over, power cuts and sunshine peering through clouds.
With this crazy weather Threeblindmice thought it would be great to show some of our weather illustrations.
