LOOSE MOOSE
Loose Moose is a creditable and relatively new animation company that has gained much achievement.
Loose Moose was established in 1994 by producer Glenn Holberton and director/animator Ken Lidster in USA. Holberton had previously produced the immensely popular children's series Thomas the Tank Engine and Lidster had won the l991 Best Animated Short BAFTA Award for Balloon. A year later, Ange Palethorpe a class mate of Ken and director and animator, and a former fine arts student and subsequent graduate of the National Film and TV School, whose short film Altered Ego, had garnered a Gold Hugo, in Chicago, and Best First Film at the Ottawa International Film Festival, joined their team.
The core of the company is a close knit group of ten to twelve people, namely Peter Williamson Head of Art, Dotti Colvin and John Shearlock as animators, but with a very large pool of regular freelancers who come and work according to the needs of the productions.
Loose Moose is best known for its commercials on food products, parliamentary elections and… by use of multi-technical animations from stop frame model animation to computer-generated imagery animation; and furthermore by working with world famous celebrities. Loose Moose has also acquired many awards from festivals.
