Golden Square Expands 3D Department And Disqo Design Division

Golden Square is expanding both Disqo, its Digital Design division, and its 3D Animation department.
In order to accommodate the expansion, which includes the hiring of at least three more full-time members of staff, Golden Square have now taken over the entire four floors at number 4 Golden Square where they previously occupied three floors.
The members of staff joining Golden Square include 3D animators Matthew Stevens and Michael Little and Designer Daniel Lundh.
Michael Little, a regular 3D Animation freelancer at Golden Square, is a graduate of 3D Computer Animation at Swansea Institute of Higher Education. Since graduating in 2004, Michael has worked at Escape Studios where he completed a VFX Production Grade course. Michael established and continues to run the Swansea Institute School of Digital Media Forum.
Matthew Stevens joins Golden Square direct from University where he completed a BA in 3D Animation and Visualisation at the National Centre for Computer Animation, Bournemouth University. Matthew is inspired by artists including the Gorillaz animator Jamie Hewlett and Tim Burton. He recently worked on a Motorola advert for the Red charity campaign directed by Jonathan Glazer.
Daniel Lundh is a 24 year old Swedish motion graphics artist who will relocate from Stockholm where he currently freelances doing motion graphics for the web/video and broadcast television.
The 3D department, headed by Sean Elliott, is fast gaining a reputation for its character design and animation work, recently completing projects for Specsavers and Airwick.
“By having designers in house we are able to design the characters from the Agency brief, build and then animate in 3D, offering the whole process to our clients, which is proving invaluable," said Ewan MacLeod, Executive Producer.
