Nothing to Declare

In 2017 we completed our second short film, Nothing to Declare. A collaboration between two Scottish animation studios, Interference Pattern carried out all of the look development and 3d asset production followed by production of the complete visual 3d process from scene assembly and lighting, rendering, compositing all the way through to final grade.

Written by comic artist Frank Quitely, directed by Will Adams of Once Were Farmers, art and technical directed by Interference Pattern’s creative director, Tom Bryant and produced by Mal Young of Studio Temba and in association with the Scottish Film Talent Network.

As Art and Technical Director on the film, our creative director, Tom Bryant was involved throughout the film’s development process, working to define the visual style of the film. The process was one of a continued balance of the achievable, within the extreme constraints of working within a short film budget, against the desire to push the visuals as far as possible.

The film was selected by the UK’s ambassadors to represent the UK as it’s short film entry to the  2017 European Animation Awards (EMILE Awards).
