Directed by Dana Dorian, Axis completed the opening and ending movies recreating the graphic visual style of the game.

The opening movie uses a news blip-vert approach to deliver the story of recent years in Pacific City. The Freaks are on the loose and The Cell are causing trouble too.

In the words of the Voice of the Agency, We're gonna need bigger guns!

Directed by Wiek Luijken for the Ayzenberg Agency, the trailer follows the two sides to the Armada of the Damned story and its lead character. The epic action-role playing game lets you decide what type of pirate legend you will become.

The Axis team created three worlds and a range of detailed characters and swash buckling action for the fast paced and VFX heavy trailer.

The trailer follows the games hero Renko, a US airman, as he contemplates life trapped on the Russian island of Katorga-12. He is not only trapped, he also has to survive the chronowaves that rip across the island hurling him back and forth between present day and 1950.

Following on from their work with Hammer Creative on the Mass Effect 2 teaser Axis were asked by Bioware and EA to create this complex and highly realistic sequence that features a mixture of motion graphics and photoreal rendering.

The end result is a stunning piece that sets the perfect futuristic tone for what has been one of the biggest games of 2010.

Perfect Match see’s the familiar appliance characters in a ‘When Harry met Sally’ homage as they describe why they are so good together. Charming animation and a simple premise deliver perfectly for the ScottishPower brand.

The film has been made to support the Helen Bamber Foundation and their work to eradicate sex trafficking across the world.

The brutal and difficult subject matter was given a suitably tough treatment by Jobson. The film was shown at a premiere in New York as part of the travelling Journey installation and was released on the Guardian newspaper website.

The teaser features a single shot realised completely in CGI with amazing detail. At first we only see abstract reflections of an unknown world, as the slow camera move continues we reveal a face.

All of the subtle animation is underpinned by a soft voice describing the Ark, which appears to be a utopia gone wrong.

The spot features live action drivers seamlessly blended into CGI cars and landscapes before the cars begin to transform into fantastical animals. Each animal becomes ever stronger before the smart Clio reveals its true identity.

Dorian and the Axis crew brought character designs by Ross Collins to life giving them added charm and humour. Alongside the stylised characters the Axis artists created a hyper-real Game store.

The whole campaign developed a brand idea that had existed as 2d animation in a previous life adding sophistication and depth.

Directed at Axis by Stuart Aitken this cinematic intro for the game saw Aitken and Axis execute one of their most ambitious projects to date.

Featuring an unbroken camera move that lasts for an amazing three minutes the movie takes the viewer on the journey from ISA command on Vekta all the way through space to the war torn planet of Helghan - with no cuts!

Axis director Wiek Luijken worked with the creative team at AKQA to deliver a film that embodies the branded look for the game.

The game features real life American badass Dick Marcinko, voiced by Mickey Rourke, and the trailer shows off the ruthless, explosive nature of the games hero in all its visceral glory.

Using a mix of photo-real CGI and motion graphics this trailer teases the viewer with what may be to come from developer and publisher Codemasters.

Axis handled all of the CG elements collaborating with Hammer Creative on the development of the overall feel. All of the music and motion graphics were completed by the in-house team at Hammer.

Look out for some charming animation as the cows don’t live an ordinary life. Most of the time they are very efficient, but if you look carefully you'll also see them waving to friends, having mishaps with suction tubes, and struggling to control their "cowcopters"! ]]> Start date: http://www.axisanimation.com/index.php?id=986 Axis Animation http://www.axisanimation.com/index.php?id=988 These commercials directed by David McCue are a great example of his mixed media style. Each commercial is a trip into the imagination of an RTÉ viewer, taking you on a journey through some of the stars and shows featured on the Irish channel.

The project involved shooting live action and still photography in Dublin, creating CG animation and visual effects, and skilful compositing to bring it all together in post. The result is an otherworldly experience that is stylish and needs repeat viewing to catch every detail.

The brief was simple for Director Wiek Luijken, create the feeling of a traditional car fanatic video but give it a twist in the payoff.

Key to this trailer are fantastic looking characters and realistic VFX, all combined with a camera technique that builds the narrative to a stunning end. ]]> Start date: http://www.axisanimation.com/index.php?id=977 Axis Animation http://www.axisanimation.com/index.php?id=1 www.flauntproductions.com ]]> Start date: http://www.axisanimation.com/index.php?id=1 Axis Animation
