October 2008 Edition

Welcome to the October edition of the Animated Remedy newsletter.

A worthy cause

As we are all too well aware the doom mongers have been busy over the past 3 months and we ask the question should we have seen this coming? Well, rather than procrastinate we’ve decided to put a positive light on this month’s newsletter and feature projects that have allowed us to focus on new sectors.

In an effort to find a little sunshine we’ve been working on projects located in sunnier climes. Working closely with The Murry Foundation we have supplied imagery and animation to generate funding for a new sports academy in the Gravelotte Limpopo region of South Africa.

The development will include all weather soccer/rugby pitches, swimming pool, athletics track, state of the art indoor facilities and accommodation in the form of thatched chalets. The Murry Foundation has always worked on deserving projects and this is no exception. The sports academy will offer the children a direction and opportunity that only months ago would have been an unobtainable dream.

The project has received endorsement by many big names in the global sporting community.

Continuing with the sporty theme, leisure centres have featured on our job list with interior visuals required for a number of venues.

New clients

Despite the current climate (and we’re not referring to the rain falling as we write!) Animated Remedy continues to attract new clients. A considerable amount of our current workload takes the form of animation so our company name has become incredibly accurate! Delivering high quality animation to tight deadlines has become something of a trend of late but we enjoy a challenge. Our latest ‘test’ took the form of 3 still images and a 60 second animation for a Hotel complex in Nigeria. Delivered to deadline (as always) our client was delighted with the results.

10 reasons to use Animated Remedy

1 Quality
This you’ll have to judge for yourself, but our clients, most of which we’ve worked with since the start of Animated Remedy appear to like what we do and we get very good feedback…Thanks, you know who you are!

2 Cost
We are very honest about how our quotations are put together. Animated Remedy charge for time spent as opposed to number of images which we consider to be a fairer charging policy. We offer a bespoke solution to each project and are the ONLY company we are aware of that will reduce our fee if we have over anticipated the time needed to produce imagery. Yeah, you might want to read that bit again!

A number of variables can affect costing and we are happy to discuss these with you. If you are working to a budget please let us know. We can then discuss this with you and tailor our quote accordingly.

3 Work turnaround
Unlike many other companies we don’t state a 2 to 3 weeks period BEFORE we would start on your project. We understand you have tight deadlines and imagery is needed quickly, without fuss, delivered as you want it, in a professional manner.

4 All our imagery is for REAL projects.
We are aware of a number of visualizing companies showing off visuals that have taken weeks to produce as studio projects. These were not produced for real clients and therefore do not represent the level of quality a client could expect their project to achieve unless they have a long deadline.

5 Customer Service
Animated Remedy goes the extra mile to ensure our clients experience working with us is a good one. We aim to become an extension of your company, real people with a good sense of humour that understand your requirements.

6 Over 22 YEARS combined experience in the industry
Experience counts for a lot. You want to know your project is in safe hands and we want you to feel confident your imagery/animation will meet your brief and be delivered on time.

7 Creative interpretation
Here we differ from a number of our competitors. All studio staff have art, design or architecture training/qualifications. We can then take a loose brief, and lifestyle a visual/animation to appeal to a particular market.

8 Animated Remedy are NOT a high maintenance visualising firm
Our role is not to be demanding of your time. We are here to make your life easier and as such we ask for the drawings, information we’ll need at the outset. From then on we’ll issue drafts for your comment and keep you appraised of what stage the project is at.

9 A4 Glossy prints supplied as standard
Having achieved final sign-off the images are supplied in high resolution format on CD, DVD, uploaded to our FTP site or simply emailed. We also supply A4 colour prints at no extra charge to allow colour matching if the images are to be used in a brochure, for your records or your office wall.

10 Experienced in producing imagery for BOTH planning & marketing purposes.
Through supplying accurately camera matched imagery we have helped our clients achieve planning approvals. Our professional architectural photographer will visit the site, take various photos of the site and then we will through consultation with our client, select one or more of these photos and cut-in the proposed CGI building seamlessly. This is extremely helpful for planning applications and gaining approval from local authorities and parish councils.

We can then take the same model, update it to reflect any changes made since planning and lifestyle the imagery for marketing purposes.

Go on give us a try!

All we need is a set of drawings to provide an overall idea of the development, a brief chat to ensure we understand your requirements and we can provide you with a free no obligation quotation within a few hours.
