Sheffield-based 3D animation and pre-production specialist Ark’s music video for UK indie rockers Muse has been shortlisted in the Sound Music Video Award category of July’s Rushes Soho Shorts Festival.
The video for Muse’s Sing for Absolution single - which Ark describe as a ‘mini sci-fi disaster movie’ - is the company’s first foray into music promo-films and one of 30 pieces shortlisted by judges from over 1800 entries.
With patrons including the British Academy of Film and Television (BAFTA) and the Directors Guild of Great Britain, the Soho Shorts festival is a highlight of London’s film calendar. The judging panel is made up of professionals from the film, television, advertising, music and media industries.
“We’re delighted that our work has been shortlisted – it’s great to have such recognition from other industry professionals’, said Ark’s Steve Tappin.
Free screenings of the shortlisted films will be shown in venues throughout Soho between Saturday 31st July and Friday 6th August. The festival culminates in an awards ceremony in Leicester Square.
Ark was founded in 2003 by visual artists Greg Staples, Stephen Tappin, Andy Turner and Richard Wright.
