422 TV (Manchester)

422 are based in Manchester and one place I'd really like to work. In their own words:

422 is a creative hotshop on the post-production scene. Big enough to offer the full spectrum of cutting-edge techniques, small enough to still be fun, it's becoming increasingly sought out by high-profile clients in the commercials and broadcast industry.

422 are specialists in visual effects, motion graphics, animation and sound design, we provide everything you'd expect from a leading post-production company. And because we're also a medium-sized independent, we're able to work together as a close-knit team and give all our clients the individual attention they deserve.

This creative collaboration with each other as well as with clients is what our growing reputation stands on. Every member of our team has skills they excel in, and a constant enthusiastic exchanging of new ideas means that clients often come away with results above and beyond their expectations. The happy atmosphere, comfortable surroundings and great hospitality don't go amiss either.

I saw 422's Glastonbury trailer on the TV last year (for BBC Music), and was very keen find out who did it. The really great news is they are relatively close to home, in Manchester. I also spent a week working with one of their former staff whilst I was at BDA Sydney, who said they were a great firm. I am deadly keen to get a work placement with 422 ASAP.
