StreetmonkeyTUBE

Streetmonkey work can now also be looked at on youtube, either click here or the youtube link at the left of the screen. We would still prefer you see the work at the higher quality contained in this site but subscribing to the streetmonkey channel means it will alert you to new work being available to view...which is nice.

Bread seems popular this weather, we have just completed a live action series of commercials for Veda Malt Loaf. TDP commissioned us to produce a series of commercials which will celebrate the 50th year of Veda being sold in Northern Ireland. Check them out in "Our Work".

Whos the Daddy!....Graham is

Congratulations to Graham who is a daddy for the first time. Baby Max was born on the 3rd of September, mother and baby are in good health.

We are still alive

Lack of updates here is due to some pretty major jobs on our plates at the moment, rest assured whenever the chaos settles we will update the site.

AE CS3 is here

We have just updated all our suites with the new version of After Effects which supports the latest 8core intel macs.

Monkey Business on Channel4.com

Dermot was recently interviewed for a feature on Channel 4's "4 Talent" web site. He'd like us to point out that they stretched his photograph (his head isn't quite as wide in real life), and that the journalist was entirely responsible for all the hilarious, monkey-themed puns that feature prominently in the article. The rest of the team can confirm that Dermot seldom, if ever, makes hilarious, monkey-themed puns. See the article here:

THE UPDATE

It's been quite a while since we updated our site - sorry about that! We're in a transitional phase at the moment while we get all our new 8-core Intel workstations up and running. We had a good spring clean at the same time so the site suffered a bit from lack of news. Rest assured that we've been really busy!

So what's been happening here? Work-wise it has been a heavy 3D couple of months. Take a look in "Our Work" to see the latest additions. We have a new full-time editor (Andrew Keil) and we are getting to grips with a flurry of new software packages and updates including PhotoShop CS3 and FCPStudio 2.

Octomac Attack

We have just received delivery of 4 new Octomacs (8 core Intel Xeon Mac Pro workstations) and widescreen panels. This significant muscle will benefit everyone, allowing faster workflow / rendering etc. Coupled with the imminent release of Final Cut Studio 2 we are very excited with the increased potential of these 8 core monsters.

Gold Run - PANI Awards 2007

We were honoured to be awarded the trophy for Best Production Company in Northern Ireland at the PANI Awards, held on Wednesday night in the Culloden Hotel. In addition to Best Production Company, Streetmonkey picked up two awards for our work with BBC Northern Ireland: a gold "TV Craft" award for our animation work in their "Local Comedy" promo and a bronze award for our post-production work on their "Home Grown" promo, which had already won a Shark Award for the BBC last year.

We were also delighted that the PANI's "Grand Prix" was awarded to Ardmore Advertising for their NI Fire and Rescue Service commercials which, you guessed it, were produced by us. This prize is awarded to the piece of work considered by the London-based judges to be the best to come out of Northern Ireland in the last two years.

In total, Streetmonkey-produced work picked up TEN, prizes including eight gold awards, on behalf of our clients and we'd like to congratulate and thank them all for their continued support over the last four years. We look forward to helping our clients to win many more awards in the future! A complete breakdown of what we won can be seen in our profile section.

Edit Suite Update

We have re-arranged our edit suite to accommodate a new PAL broadcast monitor and a 1080P 40" LCD Panel. This allows project viewing on the latest display technology at full HD resolution in realtime. With the combination of these 2 display technologies clients will now be able to colour master to a preferred format and more crucially, be able to see the display differences, strengths and weaknesses of these formats.
