Royale rings in the Holidays with “The Bell Ringer”

Last year’s holiday short from Royale, “The Impossible Present,” featured a mischievous kid with an iron will. The mischief continues in this year’s short, “The Bell Ringer,” starring a clever (and somewhat violent) bell-wielding granny, Edith.

The short is part of a larger interactive experience also created by Royale. Royale’s Jayson Whitmore explains:

Our goal was two fold: to create a stylized animated piece with a dark twist (keeping in the tradition of our holiday video last year), and to create an interactive experience with a call to action to donate to the American Red Cross. We wanted to make the donation component as seamless as possible and set up the back end to accept donations that go directly to the American Red Cross.

Our goal is to raise 10k, and if we meet or exceed our goal there will be an alternate ending created as a thank you to everyone who contributed. It will be unexpected and epic so please spread the word so we can see what our favorite bell ringer Edith does.

Check out the interactive version of the spot on Royale’s site.

Prologue: X-Men

The main sequence for X-Men: First Class, produced by Prologue, has a special retro/2D hand-made feel and serves as a strong example of how a simple execution can go a long way when put together with well-developed conceptual thinking. Director Simon Clowes kindly shared some words with us.

I saw this as an opportunity to make something that stands out not for its visual complexity or photorealism but for its simplicity and sensibility.

As he puts it, they had the technology and the talented artists to pull off a really complex sequence; however, prioritizing the concept and having to deal with various limitations eventually led them to this stylish and remarkable result.
