BCS - Curry Lounge World Record

Posted by Ollie Tristram On 15:35 0 comments

Yesterday I was asked by BCS to film as video evidence, the world record of the tallest stack of poppadoms at the Curry Lounge restaurant in Nottingham.

Other press were there including ITV and Trent FM and the record was beaten, standing at 151cm tall.

As well as including a full length video of the attempt from start to finish that was sent off to ITV, I have also done a bite-size version that could be included on the Curry Lounge website:

BCS - Working with Tensator

Posted by Ollie Tristram On 12:00 1 comments

Tensator are one of BCS's clients that design and manufacture tensabarriers, those barriers you see for queuing in cinemas, at airports, etc.

They have come to BCS for a new demonstration to be produced to show how their barriers are safer than the cheaper alternative.

There are two animations one showing the Tensator barrier and one showing the competitor barrier and how the Tensator one is much safer. My job is to work out how we can improve on these two animations in making the product look better.

During a meeting at BCS on Wednesday we discussed how filming the 2 barriers would give a better realistic impression of how they work, but the problem was that we can't really show it hitting a child. We could create 2 new animations from scratch but that could be time consuming and again not be as realistic.

What we do know is that we would like both the competitor product and the Tensator product to be in one horizontal split-screen so the viewer can see how both products are working simultaneously, and to include a timer showing how the quicker one is more more dangerous.

**UPDATE** Tensator opted to edit their existing animation for a quick turn-around, therefore I was not needed in the end.
