Stash doesn’t publish many demo reels as a result of most don’t coalesce into something greater than the sum of their elements: a collection of clips and a music observe. Working with Quebec music professionals Supersavant, Montreal’s Gimmick Studio achieves a uncommon factor, a movement design reel that you just want was longer.
Gimmick companion/COO Francois Dulac: “The primary problem of any demo reel is all the time the identical: deciding which tasks make it the reduce and discovering the time to construct it between consumer tasks.
Gimmick’s earlier reel was revealed in 2019. There have been numerous previous tasks, it was not showcasing the studio’s evolution in the direction of extra high-end content material, and most of all, I couldn’t stand listening to the music ‘Sandstorm’ by Darude yet one more time.
So again in 2021, it was determined to have a brand new reel prepared by early 2022. Nicely, it took simply over a yr. We satisfaction ourselves in delivering killer tasks with lightning turnaround occasions however for our inside tasks, it was extra of a limping-turtle turnaround time.
“However we lastly did it. The reel exhibits our DNA of not taking ourselves too significantly and, most significantly, Gimmick’s experience in illustration, kind animation, 2D/3D animation, and blended media normally.
“Our solely want is to not get fed up with the Dawson’s Creek theme music earlier than releasing the subsequent reel in 2025 (or 2028, we’ll see).”
