Red Cartel

Visit to A.G.E 2010

admin — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 00:21:59 +0000

A couple of our guys went along to check out the 2010 Australiasian Gaming Expo in Darling Harbour from 8th-10th August 2010.
We were all very proud to see our work on display at many of the booths, including the launch of “Beat the Bandits” for Aristocrat, “Running Hot” for True Blue, “Mystic Dragon” for Maxgaming, and our most recent “Equinox” renders for ShuffleMaster..
It was great to catch up with familiar faces and to meet a few more, wrapping over with a few cold ales at the nearby James Squire bar in Darling Harbour.
We’re now planning our next trip to the Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas in November which is shaping up to be a real cracker!

RedCartel produced all the 3d elements for a set of 3 live action ad spots for ActewAGL in Canberra.

Commissioned by Shannon Wilson of Pretty Little Things, we created all 3d elements, then tracked, animated and composited them onto live-action plates which were filmed in HD over a 2 day shoot in Canberra.

These spots have since been aired around the A.C.T. for an ongoing campaign for the launch of a new bundled home product from ActewAGL.
