WELCOME TO MULTIMINDED
Multiminded are digital artists, video and digital content producers and designer makers. You can find their designer maker products here. The team is a unique collaboration between filmmaker and development prize-winning screenwriter Fiona Birkbeck and motion graphics designer and music producer Jim Bell. Multiminded’s studio is based in Newcastle upon Tyne in the North East of England at The Mushroom Works, a building for artists and designer makers.
Using her storytelling background working in film and TV in London, Fiona set up Multiminded to produce engaging digital content and tell stories across different platforms and venues. Multiminded produces videos, soundtracks and arts installations. In their work as digital artists Jim and Fiona do projection mapping design and projects for galleries, festivals and events.
As designer makers they produce mainly North East and music themed products. You can find out more at the Multiminded Design website here.
Multiminded have produced dozens of films for the Housing Design Awards. As the 2020 event couldn’t take place in London because of the pandemic the awards ceremony was taken online for the first time ever with videos about the winners being shown over four nights. Multiminded have also produced their films for subsequent years including live action, animation and drone filming. Multiminded also work with architects directly to bring architectural drawings and plans to life. They recently animated one of Proctor and Matthews architect Stephen Proctor’s amazing illustrations here. Here is a selection of the animation work produced for Housing Design Awards 2021.
Here are some examples of Multiminded’s projection mapping work. This one was for the 10th anniversary of The Toffee Factory. Find out more about projection mapping projects here. The second video was a recent commission for Newcastle Cathedral’s Art Trail: Light At The End Of The Tunnel, a new light and sound festival. Jim chose the crypt for his light and sound piece projection mapping against the far wall.
Music Videos
Multiminded have recently produced two music/pop videos with Deborah Snell. Multiminded brought illustrator Deborah Snell’s artwork to life by animating it when building her website. They brought her puppets to life for a music video for the band Nel Unlit.
