Monkey Business on Channel4.com

2007-07-03T14:02:37+01:00

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:

A still from the film to demonstrate the HD resolution can be grabbed from our downloads page.

NI Fire & Rescue Service… More Television Ads

2006-07-03T15:19:41+01:00

We've just completed a couple more adverts for the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (that's 3 TV ads in total) and we're absolutely delighted with the final results. Have a look on our Recent Work page to see the movies. You will likely notice the characters from the adverts popping up on a billboard or bus shelter near you sometime soon: we are also in production of the associated web site which will be live and online in the very near future.

Turku and Helsinki, Finland: UU/NICEC Conference II

2006-06-19T11:07:42+01:00

We barely had time to re-pack our bags before jetting off to Finland on 19th June, to attend further policy briefings at the request of UU and NICEC in the Finnish cities of Turku and Helsinki. Similar to our trip to Iceland, this time we met with political representatives, academics and artists to debate the future of Government policy for Northern Ireland's creative economy. Streetmonkey was delighted to contribute to these events and we will continue to look overseas for inspiration and business opportunities in the future…

3D Motion Tracking for BBC Promo

2006-06-16T13:24:38+01:00

Check out the recent work page of the site to see our latest broadcast work (a promo for BBC Northern Ireland's "Family Focus" show). This job involved digitally extending a small studio set to make it look twice the size: it required some complex 3D tracking work and also features computer generated cloth banners. If we've done our job properly, nobody will notice all our hard work! Watch the movie file to all the way through, the promo is repeated at the end with all the effects shots revealed.

Reykjavik, Iceland: UU/NICEC Conference

2006-06-06T10:45:56+01:00

Streetmonkey were on the road again, this time to Iceland's capital city of Reykjavik: the city where the sun never set (but it never stopped raining either). We were there to study how the creative industries work in the many economies of Europe and the rest of the world. We were invited to attend by the University of Ulster and the Northern Ireland Centre for European Corporations, who have been charged by the Office of the First Minister to create a comprehensive policy document for the Northern Ireland creative industries.

During the trip we met with representatives of both the public and private sectors who influence Iceland's arts and creative industries. We also attended meetings with the Ministry of Education and Culture and Iceland's Design Forum. In addition, we visited several of Iceland's leading film makers and artists: we were fortunate enough to be invited to the set of "Lazy Town" where we met the producer / director / star of the show, Magnus Scheving.

LA Film Festival

2006-05-19T10:39:18+01:00

New Streetmonkey Web Site

2006-05-18T12:16:47+01:00

Welcome to the new Streetmonkey web site. We've finally got something working that will allow you to see our work as soon as it is done. Gone are the days of struggling with tables and nasty lines of code which often don't work in different browsers. Hopefully this site will be a place of change where new articles can be added quickly letting you see our work as soon as possible.

Please be patient if you experience any delays while we develop the web site further over the next few days.
