Glassworks' Double Win at British Animation Awards

Last Friday night saw the annual British Animation Awards bash at the BFI. A chance to celebrate all that is great and good about British animation; excitement was in the air as we rocked down to the Southbank.

Glasswork celebrated a double win as their TalkTalk “Model Britain” spot won not one but TWO awards. Directed by the legendary Daniel Kleinman (Rattling Stick) for agency CHI & Partners, “Model Britain” won Best Animation Commercial and the People’s Choice Commercial.

Alastair Hearsum and Nick Smalley (Glassworks Head of 3D and Senior 3D Artist respectively) were present and correct at the awards and reported on a great evening, hosted by hilarious Irish comedian Aisling Bea.

Alastair, a judge at the awards, mentions that, “in light of Autodesk’s decision to retire Softimage in 2015, it is worth noting that all this year’s finalists are Softimage users. Food for thought”.

Congratulations to all the evening’s winners and to everyone involved on this spot at Rattling Stick, CHI & Partners and Glassworks..

Finally, huge thanks to Jayne Pilling and her team at the BAAs for a fantastic evening… see you next time!
