What:
365 is a year-long creative project by the wonderful BAFTA-winning animation team, Brothers McLeod who were previously featured on Central Station here. The aim is to create a short film by animating one second a day over 2013.

Why we like it:
This project is somewhat of an experiment in that there is no script. Ideas will be generated from day to day experiences and inspirations. You can follow the project’s progress and see stills posted daily here.

Update:
The full 6 minute long 365 film can now be viewed on vimeo for $3.65.

They are known for their animations created for TV, short film, games and the web. Here is were they create…

Welcome to our turret. Where we spy on the world and make words and pictures.

We’ve been in situ for 3 years. We were previously locked away in our respective abodes with nowt but our own dull company to cheer us. Now sing hallelujah, we get to spend each and every long long hour together swilling about in the brotherly love of creative nirvana.

The wiring in the building pre dates the renaissance and the cold winter of last year froze the water in the toilet. We battled through in hats and scarves and Myles learned to type wearing gloves. We burnt Greg’s drawing board for warmth and severally depleted the whisky supplies.

Despite working mainly on the evil device that is the computer we like to surround ourselves with paints, pencils, pens and various drawing surfaces. This keeps the evil digital demons at bay and gives us something to do when the electricity has a ‘moment’

In truth tis a wondrous space offering, as it does, unparalled views of the upper middle class town of Stratford Upon Avon. If Shakespeare were alive today we’d have him locked in a cupboard writing short films.

Much love form our turret of creativity

The Brothers McLeod

This is where he creates.

I work in a film and animation studio in Brixton, South London called Factory Fifteen. I have always  been interested in animation from a young age, and take my inspirations from comics, manga and sci fi books. After studying a Masters degree in Engineering, and a second Masters in architecture, I founded Factory Fifteen with fellow graduates from the Bartlett School of Architecture. I am in the process of developing as a Director/Animator to build up to doing features and longer forms of films.

Where I live on-line? Mainly google!! either the image search or gmail.  I watch a lot of vimeo, and follow blogs like DEZEEN, and BLDG BLOG.
