Congratulations to Smith & Foulkes of Nexus Productions and Marc Craste of Studio Aka and their teams for both winning the British Television Advertising Craft Award for Best Computer Animation. Smith & Foulkes won for their Coca Cola "Videogame" ad, which can be seen at www.nexusproductions.com
Marc Craste won for Lloyds TSB "For The Journey" ad, which we talked about earlier this week and can be seen at www.studioaka.co.uk. I think an Animation Show/Nexus team up is in order if it means we can see these guys at work.
The winner for the Best British Television Commercial of the Year went to Sony Bravia's "Paint" ad. I know they spent months on effects and computer graphics but they actually shot this spot live. There is also a nice behind the scenes look at this ad you can watch at www.bravia-advert.comOther winners from the BTA's can be found at www.btaa.co.uk
