UK ANIMATION SHOWCASE AND REPORT ON MISX

SELECTED UK animation companies are now profiled on-line as part of a report on animation in the UK.
Media Intelligence Services eXchange (MISX) are the global online community for advertising and commercial production professionals.
Jamie Hamilton, CEO and Founder of MISX, said: "From our extensive research into the UK animation industry one specific theme was encountered - animators found it very hard if not impossible to get their skills shown to agencies.
“In general terms animators found that creatives and TV producers did not understand how they could use animation and all too often relegated this art form to commercials for breakfast cereals. Yet animation offers creatives a vast canvas on which their ideas are not constrained by normal production convention. You only have to look at Studio AKA's 'eak' commercial for Orange as a perfect example."
Advertising agencies and production companies from around the world can now gain access to the skills provided by UK Animation companies. Animation companies are profiled to give industry professionals an immediate insight into the skills on offer and a chance to see examples of their work that are streamed from the site at www.misx.com.
