dave daniels live in madrid

TANDEM director David Daniels was recently invited to Madrid for the Punto y Raya (Dots and Lines) Festival; a special event celebrating the best in abstract film-making.

Police 101

At TANDEM we were recently invited by agency M&C Saatchi to make an on-line public information film for the UK Home Office.

The public are being asked to call the new number 101 to contact the police for non-emergency issues that don't warrant a full 999 response.

TANDEM director Chris Gavin decided on a visual styling composed almost entirely from a visual collage of stills photography followed by some considerable effects compostiting to add movement and bring the whole thing together.

The film has been placed on YouTube already on the Devon and Cornwall Police, so we've embedded the link here for you to see...

Canongate 'The Canons'

Canongate asked TANDEM to make a short on-line movie to showcase some of the titles and announce the new range to the book-loving public.

Here is the short animated film we made to launch 'The Canons'...
