UNIT9, the award-winning production & experience design studio, has announced that its UNIT9 Films division has partnered with Woodblock, a leading animation studio that counts brands such as Apple, Nike and Netflix among its clients.
This new partnership will strengthen UNIT9 Films’ design and animation offering, as Woodblock supports and complements its work in both the commercial and experiential space. Woodblock specialises in animation, motion design and 3D digital, making it an excellent counterpart to UNIT9 Films’ proven directorial and production credentials. As a result, the UNIT9 Films team will be able to offer its clients an expanded list of services.
Building on success of previous collaboration
Previously, the two companies worked together on a prominent 3D hoarding for Meta at Piccadilly Circus in London. The new collaboration creates new possibilities for cutting-edge content development at the intersection of creativity and technology.
Adam Dolman, MD of UNIT9 Films says:
“Woodblock’s work and aesthetic is the perfect fit for us here at UNIT9. Their diverse team of designers and creative directors can turn their hand to a number of different animation styles. Whether it’s teaming up with one of our live-action directors or leading an animation project themselves, the results are always dazzling and their process is always efficient and super production friendly for agencies and clients.
“We’re very much looking forward to our collaboration with them in the future.”
Ilija Brunck, CEO of Woodblock adds:
“UNIT9 is famed for their unique mix of technology, craft and creativity. Always approaching a project in search of the new and exciting. This is perfectly aligned with the methodology of our studio and we are delighted to work closely with the wonderful UNIT9 team on future cutting-edge projects going forward.
“This collaboration enables us to offer UNIT9’s services to our client base, widening our creative and technology offering. Ultimately, as with all our partners, our goal is to form a long-term partnership enabling both companies to create our best work.”
Last year, UNIT9 partnered with LaLiga Entertainment – comprising LaLiga, PortAventura World and Kosmos – and COPA90 to launch a football-themed, GPS-enabled AR app, fusing the theme park experience with sport and gaming to elevate the in-park visit.
