Big Buck Bunny

SKETCHWORK SUPPORT BIG BUCK!

5th July 2008

This year SketchWork Productions was happy to support the Open Source Blender 3D project, "Big Buck Bunny". Although as a company we use SoftImage XSI as our preferred 3D development environment after seeing what could be created from a free open source application we offered the SketchWork servers to host the UK mirror for the project.

If you are unsure about 3D, a beginner dabbling in 3D or a seasoned pro, check out the final "free to download" High Definition movie, Big Buck Bunny. You'll have to agree that the quality and fine detail they have captured is breathtaking and in many ways far more detailed than what you see from modern day major 3D animation studios.

Visit the Official Big Buck Bunny Website to download the movie

SketchWork To Launch
Film Careers In Cornwall

SKETCHWORK to Launch Film Careers in Cornwall

24th January 2008

Cornish based SketchWork Productions is the company to keep an eye on over the next couple of months as they ignite their latest feature film project that is looking to benefit many Cornish industries.

One of the founding aspects of SketchWork was to generate 'real' film opportunities for Cornish companies and bring larger budget productions into the county. Not only does this put Cornish film, sound and lighting crews to work, but it will also provide work for many other industries as a result of the shoot. "There are many good crews in Cornwall who rarely get an opportunity to show off their talent" says Justin Heasman, managing director of SketchWork, "it is disheartening to see that when film work does arrive in Cornwall, crews are brought in from out of the county". Matthew Dymond, co-director of SketchWork continues, "our vision is not only to generate work for Cornish film crews, but also to kick start the careers of many actors and actresses wanting to break into the industry".

Cornwall is renowned for its beautiful scenery, which SketchWork wish to show off in their films, however Justin is keen to add that "we greatly respect the Cornish landscape and by no means will this production have a detrimental effect on its beauty".

The 10 month project has entered the pre-production phase and is looking to enter production in the summer. Please check the local press and the SketchWork website for regular updates on auditions and ways in which you can get involved in this great project.
