Transport system for major world heritage site

SquareZero are currently working on a 3D-marketing animation for proposed transport design, for a large inner city. 
This prestigious project could have a global impact for its millions of annual visitors.
We were excited to be approached at such an early conceptual stage, and be asked to use our 3D and animation skills
to visualise the workings and the feasibility of the planned development.
Unfortunately we can't reveal anymore on this one...but we'll keep you posted

Sunny Days music video for Kid British

SquareZero have just completed the music video for Sunny days -
The uber catchy release from the hotly tipped Manchester band Kid British.

The video features singer Adio waking up broken hearted after being dumped by his girlfriend. He gets up and puts on a fake smiley head in a bid to bravely face the world. His fellow band members are oblivious to his unhappiness throughout the video
and only respond and react to his smiling foam-headed features.

The fun video was shot in one day in locations around Hackney, East london.

Look out for the single released end of April!

Russian Dolls



CYBERDOLLS are coming to Russian clubs and hologram stages soon ! The virtual DJ Ursula and his dancers Sandy and Karla are beaming in and grooving about to six shagadelic dance tracks in our new presentation for Musion Eyeliner stage productions. Heelllooo Babyyy !! 

This was a co-production where motion capture and the characters were sent by MotionMechanics in Russia. We then did all of the animated stage lighting using 3d and 2d processes. We rendered all twenty-six minutes of 3d and  Special effects using our render farm which runs Qube software. The special effects added by us were created in AfterEffects, Shake and Particle Illusion. Most of the SquareZero team were working on the project to turn around the large quantity of HD work in just several weeks.

The finished content resembles the famous Gorillaz live shows and may well be sold alongside Eyeliner foils to nightclubs and events companies. Hologramix are the reseller of Musion Eyeliner in Russia but seperate investors commissioned the content.
