Brand New School Opens London Studio

When we got wind of Brand New School launching a new London Studio, we wanted to share the news with readers. According to the press release, ex-PassionPictures producer Kayt Hall has been appointed as Executive Producer. BNS goes on to say:

All BNS studios will be interconnected to facilitate collaborations and to share resources.  “While one could argue that we are now ‘going global,’ we aim to remain boutique in scale, and essentially produce European jobs where it’s convenient for European clients, while expanding our overseas reach,” Notaro explained.  “Although we’re well into the age where connectivity is not an issue, in-person meetings remain utterly irreplaceable.”

“A main mission for our new studio is to discover and promote British and European talents, in hope that these talents are well received in the U.S. markets as well,” added BNS managing director Danny Rosenbloom.  “We’ve learned firsthand that Europe is an outstanding source for brilliant creativity, so we see this venture as a natural extension of our successes to date, and our growing relationships with the world’s best creatives and brands.”

Jack Cunningham: “Stuff & Things.”

The idea behind Stuff & Things is not overly conceptual. Actually, if the title is any indication, it’s pretty straightforward.

Directed by UK graduate, Jack Cunningham, this short is a pixel-art exhibition on the arbitrary moments of everyday life. Like an art gallery, each section illustrates a practical explanation of how something works, or in some cases, just is.

The aesthetic is sharp and clean — simplifying non-analogous objects into abstract pictures that playfully vary in scale and viewpoint. Though the short is unbridled by a thick narrative, the piece is driven by color as much as it is by random subject matter. The assemblage of color is eclectic, but when put together, works, like a visual system based on chaos: supermarkets, LEGO’s, or J-Pop magazines.
