We are closing the office from 24th December and re-opening on January 4th 2010.
With lots of projects to be finished by Christmas we ran out of time to complete our spectacular annual e-card which we know you all await with eager anticipation..... so if you didn't receive one it's not because we don't like you anymore. We'll make sure next year's is twice as good to make up for it! See you in 2010. Festive greetings from the Bottletops.
We were delighted to be asked a couple of weeks ago to pitch to refresh The Gadget Show for 2010. Bottletop originally branded the show back in 2004 and has produced a couple of versions of the titles since, but this time the producers (North One Television/Five) asked us to give the show a completely new look. It has been a bit tricky juggling an office move, current clients and a pitch we very much wanted to win, but..... we did it! Following a meeting at Five's HQ in London today Bottletop is currently working on the new look graphics which will be on screen in the new year.
Bottletop is now firmly established in its new offices at Antenna.
Our new phone number is 0115 993 2345. Come and see us - you can help to sort out some boxes... has anyone seen my HB pencil?
Bottletop has produced a series of animations for Oracle to be used in their international corporate communications. Commissioned by Breathe Productions, Bottletop created a vibrant animating energy trail which was tracked over existing HD footage of Oracle's major international locations and its HQ in California creating an introductory title sequence. Longer animations were then produced featuring the cities of Tokyo, Dubai, Milan, Paris, London and New York in more depth to create animations for global communications from those specific locations.
Bottletop was invited to attend today's screening of the first three episodes of 'Jinx' at the Phoenix Cinema on Finchley High Road. The audience was composed of cast, crew and lots of young viewers who were all delighted by what they saw. The Phoenix, which has been named 'the best single cinema in London' by Time Out was the perfect setting. After the show the kids fought tooth and nail to get their hands on signed copies of the Lulu Baker books by Fiona Dunbar on which the series is based. Jinx starts transmission on Saturdays and Sundays from 31st October at 10.30am on CBBC.
Bottletop has provided the animations for Citv's latest half-term promotion. Fur & Feathers puts programmes featuring furry animals against programmes featuring feathered ... er ... birds!
Built in Cinema 4D and assembled in After Effects.
Bottletop is moving. We are really excited to be one of the first tenants at Antenna, a new media centre in Nottingham. A stone's throw from the Lace Market, Antenna is a smart, new members-only creative work space featuring a restaurant and bar, screening rooms and meeting rooms. Other tenants include EM Media and Spool Films.
So from November 2nd our new contact details will be:
0115 993 2345
Bottletop is in the news this month. Our Jinx titles for CBBC are also featured in this month's Televisual......
