Big Chip Award Winners

Posted on 18. Aug, 2009 by admin in Projects

We’re proud to announce that at the 11th Big Chip Awards Mi and Ian Hogg picked up two awards. The first in The Best Use of Animation category, and the second The Anthony Wilson Original Modern Award. Many thanks to Pushon and SKV for getting AHD168 out there, and most importantly thanks to all the lads in production at Mi who worked well into the cold dark December evenings to get this project out. Anyway, enough of blowing our trumpet. We’ll let Big Chip judge Susan Woodward OBE do it for us:

“Last December, Christmas was almost cancelled. Britian was poised on the edge of bankrupcy, banks and bankers were going or being thrown to the dogs. In that environment, no one was commissioing any creative work from any type of creative company. It was truly a bleak midwinter. This company had been working on a promotional campaign for a major retailer. When the budget was slashed because of the credit crunch, they lost out. But instead of just giving in, the took the commission and turned it into a You Tube must see. They didnt give in, they weren’t defeated. In the face of adversity they turned a loss into a winner. With humour, and talent. And that’s why I chose them as this years winner of this special award. I think Tony would have approved.

    It was an absolute pleasure working with you. The quality of the work made it rather easy to support you. Hope we can do it again some time
