Congratulations to all at Rattling Stick and The Havens ‘Where Is Your Line’ crew for last night’s scoop ! Sara Dunlop won for best Director, Stuart Bentham at Rattling Stick & Steve Cook at Youth Club for Production, Bill Smedley at Work for Editing, Stacey Martin for Acting. We’re proud to have been a part of this project!
The Havens are specialist centres in London providing medical and emotional support for people who have been raped or sexually assaulted.
Thank you to everyone who helped us celebrate last Thursday night!
We hope you had as much fun as us.
At last we got to celebrate moving into Wardour St and launched our own digital installation space with Doug Foster’s latest work. You don’t need to set foot in the door to see it, just walk past the front window (preferably mid afternoon when the sun is going down) and you can’t miss it.
Everyone who RSVP’d to the party submitted their top party tune. Before and after the DJ’s Smooth Sailing came on we played as many of the tunes as we could. The resulting playlist ROCKED! We are sorry if you didn’t hear your tune on the night, but a total of 98 tracks coming to a total of 7 hrs listening time were submitted!!!
However if you have Spotify you can check out the full list here!
Enjoy
In this News section we’ll be sharing with you projects you may not have seen as well as behind the scenes articles or other interesting news from Finish and our clients.
The other new features on this site include; HD full screen playback of our work, a search option on each page for the whole site and Clips, which allows you to compile a playlist which you can save for future reference or email.
We’ve settled into our new facility on Wardour Street and the extra space has allowed us to expand with four Flame suites and seven Nuke work stations. Headed up by our senior Flame artists Jason Watts, Steve Murgatroyd and Paul Wilmot (who joined us last year).
Along with an expanded 2D department we also have additional 3D work stations which include Maya, Houdini, Massive and Real Flow amongst others, with the team being headed up by Harin Hirani.
Finish producer Cheryl Payne has done it again by designing the cover of this month’s Televisual magazine which features the Top 30 Commercials production companies. Payne’s cover was also chosen last year. In the last few years post companies have been asked to enter designs for the Top 50 post houses edition of which Finish designer Paul Wright’s cover was selected for in the first year of the competition.
Finish also make the Top 10 most used and most rated post companies.
Payne choreographed a series of photographs taken here in the office which were printed out and placed in the shape of a 30 then re photographed for the November cover. “Since I am surrounded by post production all day I decided it would be a fun challenge to make the number 30 without using any computers” says Payne.
If you look closely you might also recognise the person in the photos :)

If you love images and have a competitive streak then we’d love you to be involved.
What started as a friendly competition amongst the Finish team using the addictive iPhone app instagram has now extended beyond so we thought why not entice even more of you. Each week a theme is announced and judged anonymously. Some of our recent guest judges include director Sara Dunlop, VCCP producer David Riley, Hyper Naked creative Sef.
Follow us on our Finish Facebook page for winners and weekly theme announcements!
If you want to be involved simply:
• take a picture (iPhone’s only!) with this weeks theme.
• tag #finishtv when you upload your photos in Instagram so it comes up in the feed of entries.
• don’t hashtag your user name as then it won’t be anonymous !
• photos must be taken within the week the theme runs (no re-archiving please)
Sir John Hegarty creatively led this Unicredit campaign and we thought we’d share some behind the scenes action with you all…
