Glimpse Digital has completed work on the first two of six planned new TG4 idents, currently showing on the Irish language station.
The TG4 Idents - depicting by turns faeries woken up from their faerie-bush home and a rolling road that triggers a growing meadow - were created through a collaboration between director Brian Williams, producer Dara McClatchie and Glimpse Digital.
"The new TG4 idents are conceptually, artistically and technically ambitious, and an absolute pleasure for the senses," says Glimpse chief Matthew Talbot-Kelly.
The post house created digital matte paintings combined with 3D and 2D animation to create the scenes. Speaking of the varied skills brought to task by the Glimpse team; "For the work we do," says Talbot-Kelly, "we are using skills that encompass the full breadth of the film making timeline, from writing and concept work to production design and pre-visualization to on-set direction and supervision, to 3D animation, visual effects and graphics."
Glimpse's present slate of projects reflects this skillset: Glimpse Digital's first film production - an IFB Frameworks supported animated film by Matthew Talbot-Kelly, the next four TG4 idents, digital matte paintings of Paris in fifty years for a German/UK docudrama, commercials and a few web sites. They have recently completed work on the zombie features 'Slither' and 'Fido', Christmas movie sponsorship stings for VW, titles for RTE Sattitude's 'Superdoopers' and TV spot's for Aer Lingus and Bank of Ireland.
