Merry Squidgemas!
Despite finishing her Christmas film back in July, Ange Palethorpe actually has great timing. ‘SQUIDGE’ is Ange's latest short film, one to spread some festive cheer. Ange said of working on the project - “Squidge grew from a thirty second piece to a massive 1 minute 50 seconds. After many years working on commercials, it was bliss to be able to let the action run, and build up both the drama and the final punch line. We are usually given 36 frames for a character to do something, so just having fun experimenting with the timings felt like a holiday. Download PDF on the right for full details.

Maren's Directorial Debut
Loose Moose's freelance Director / Designer - MAREN MORSTAD, has recently completed a two minute film for International research and testing organisation - KANTAR, through Sennep Ltd. The brief was to illustrate the problems Kantar faced when asked by their Russian client, MTS Telecoms, to give a detailed picture of their diverse client base which were spread from the suburbs of Moscow to the mountains of Uzbekistan! After submitting her initial concept designs and winning Kantar's confidence, Maren was given free reign on the project. She experimented with new techniques and mixed mediums and the film also features her first ever attempt at stop frame animation. This was a project on a mammoth scale for a directorial debut but one that Maren single handedly pulled off. We take our Antler hats off to her!
