Collision Films

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki

Collision Films was an independent British animation studio founded by Chris Hopewell and Ben Foley in Bristol, UK in 2002. Hopewell and Foley met whilst working at another Bristol-based studio, bolexbrothers in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Collision Films specialised in music videos and explored various mixed media techniques from stop motion and pixilation to live action and computer animation.

In March 2003 Hopewell and Foley created their first video, Radiohead’s “There There” from the album “Hail To The Thief” using stop-motion techniques.[1] The video gained international attention and was nominated for 4 MTV Music Video Awards and won Hopewell ‘Best Art Direction’ as well as ‘Best Video’ at the 2004 NME Awards.

The Company then went on to produce music videos for the Scissor Sisters, Franz Ferdinand (band), Razorlight, The Zutons, Mylo, Louis XIV, The Killers (band) and Elbow, amongst others. As the company grew they began to foster emerging talent and took on directors such as Matthew Harris-Freeth.

2012 saw the release of 'A Fantastic Fear of Everything', starring Simon Pegg and co directed by Hopewell and Kula Shaker front man Crispian Mills who had met whilst collaborating on a Kula Shaker music video that Collision had made [2]. Although Collision are credited with animation on the film, the company 'Collision Films Ltd' closed in Autumn 2012. Eventually, Hopewell would found Jacknife Prints, a design and screenprint studio, and Foley started BuckLoop studio for feature ads and other projects.
