Sleepydog CEO, Toby Moores recently paid a visit to Windmill Lane Pictures, Ireland’s largest and longest established film and television post production house.

Take a look at their online archive and showreels to see some examples of the great work they’re doing, but it was Gary Shore’s film, ‘The Cup of Tears‘ which really caught our eye.

This genre splicing fantasy combined Weiss Cam, slow motion footage, HD and high resolution Matte Painting to achieve the eventual look.

I’m sure you’ll agree, the results are stunning!

Hot on the heels of Susan Boyle and Stavros Flatley comes Kseniya Simonova, winner of the Ukrainian version of Britain’s Got Talent.

Kseniya’s live ’sand animation’ is pretty amazing stuff and as you’ll see from the video, the audience get a little watery eyed during her performance!

Perhaps they’ve just managed to get some sand in their eyes, but I recommend you have a tissue to hand just in case!
