May the 4th be with you! Happy international Star wars day fellow nerds! To celebrate 2D generalist Iky drew Luke inspired by the style of the Galaxy of Adventures shorts

Arcus Founder Mike is attending the second annual Get Animated Conference. If you see him make sure to say hello!

Recording video reference for animation is a great way to understand weight, real-world physics and key poses. This isn't what we were doing James just decided to lay down so we started recording.

Tomorrow Project Manager Courtney and 2D Generalist Iky will be at to North East Expo. We had a little trouble when booking the tickets so if you see a incredibly tall person in a trench coat sneaking around, we assure you they are not suspicious and you should network with them

Happy St George's day! Check the link to learn a bit more about St George in this animation for BBC Teach. Part of a series about various saints! BBC Teach YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=cln70_… BBC Teach Website: bbc.co.uk/teach/school-r…

April 2024 marks 100 years of BBC Educational content. To celebrate this occasion here is a look back on some of our BBC Educational Projects

@BHearnden Think it was last year or the year before they made it that you have to assign a rating to every video for it to be sharable. It doesn't default to 'everyone' you have to do it manually on each one 😩

Vimeo is really getting on my tits recently, sharing a link to my demoreel should be a straight-forward thing, but half the people who respond to my applications say it's showing some bullshit "Video is not yet rated" problem.... should it really be so difficult to share a link?

@thesketchsector Awesome work mate!

This weeks drawing challenge was to create a protagonist based on the Easter Bunny. Vince nailed the challenge with the DND inspired character design! We hope you all have an egg-stra special Easter.

At Arcus we are constantly learning new things which is why we love working on educational content! We recently had the pleasure of animating a series of religious stories for BBC Teach.  Full versions of each video are available on the BBC Teach website.

Yesterday Project Manager Courtney, Travelled down to deliver a talk to Animation and Games Art students at the University of Sunderland. We hope the tips she provided help animation students begin to think about project coordination and the importance of scheduling projects.

Look out for our animation reel at GDC! Thanks to creative UK we've been receiving mentoring, support and advice on how to make this a bigger part of our studios output from industry veteran Clemens Wangerin. We're thrilled to say Clemens will be showcasing our work at GDC

Our James was invited to deliver a talk recently at @DesignTalksUK, a meet up for designers run by @LayersStudio Studio Massive thanks for the invite and to Lorena Frangeti on her insightful talk. It was an absolutely pleasure and we hope to attend the event again in the future!

@SoVeryBritish Yum yums

You can only keep one…

Happy international women's day to celebrate we challenged the Arcus crew to draw their favourite female animated or video game character. Samus was originally inspired by Ripley from the Aliens franchise and as such kicks ass and survives against all odds in hostile alien lands
