In this month’s Storyboard, Blinkink celebrates with tequila, Beakus heads to the library and Fieldtrip plays a game with gnomes

Blinkink
Jose Cuervo films
Blinkink directors Elliot Dear and Stephen McNally created three films with different animation techniques as part of Jose Cuervo Tequila’s 250th anniversary. Dear made two films: The Battle For Tequila in which he built a miniature set of the town of Tequila with live action performers shot in slow motion and The Margarita made up of 2D animation with dramatically lit CG backgrounds. McNally’s The Alchemist blends CG worlds and 2D painted textures. The executive producer was James Stevenson Bretton.

Beakus
Magna Carta films
Beakus’ designer/director Gergely Wootsch made these two illustrated animations for the British Library to coincide with a major new exhibition, Magna Carta: Law, Liberty, Legacy, celebrating the 800th anniversary of the document’s creation. The films were voiced by Monty Python’s Terry Jones.

Fieldtrip
My Dear Gnome
This is directing duo Emmanuelle & Julien’s short film produced through Fieldtrip and Hornet partners ChezEddy. My Dear Gnome tells the story of two friends and an unsuccessful attempt to play draughts. “We created an entire universe for this film. Even the flamingo (Eugene) in the background has a story,” said Emmanuelle.
