Some of our Recent Projects

 2022 - 2023 - Interns at Sparky Ink Studio create content for the Studio.  Katie Thompson. Sherry Mae Villamer.  Albert Marston. Tristan Howard and Femi Gabriel.

From early 2022 to 2023 Sparky Ink Studio was thrilled to have so many talented interns working with us.  From Graphic Design, Animation to Games Development and Filming.  Our interns were amazing.  Some of the projects the interns developed were embedded in other pieces of work for students or the upcoming Film festival.  Please check out their links for their portfolios on our Linktree.

 2019 - Project Film-Making & Raising Aspirations commissioned by Derbyshire Education Business Partnership

Our studio was commissioned to work with 5 talented students all with additional needs for a project from DEBP.  The brief was to create an animation that could be useful for the DEBP website to show some of what they do.  We may have gotten a little carried away with the story.  Plenty of SFVX and SFX.  All the students worked incredibly hard.  Creating the animation, editing, making a small game and artwork and music it was very fun! and was during a very hot few weeks in August 2019.

2019 - Documentary - Migrant Journey Border Control.  Ian Judson & Art and Minds.

Local Documentary written, filmed and produced by our very own CEO Jane-marie 'Ginger' Wright and her company - Pink Alien Productions.  The Documentary follows a few months with a local mental health Art Therapy Community Project in Killamarsh, UK led by Ian Judson.

Documentary

arly on in the year when we offered to create a documentary for local Artist Ian Judson.  At the time of meeting Ian and filming his 4 Room Gallery exhibition at West Studio's, we didn't realize that he had created a small community business in the heart of Killamarsh called Art and Minds.  Art and Minds was developed to help those with Mental illness to realise their potential and help them back into society.  The small shop in Killamarsh is a treasure trove of creative talent that has decorated the walls and adorns the repurposed and upcycled furniture. With a waste not want not attitude Ian is leading a local revolution in turning old unwanted items into desirable decorative and useful items and the money raised goes back into the community group. Ian and Baz who closely works with him have initiated small groups locally including an Art Therapy Group at our Studio each Wednesday.

Our Documentary; which is due to be shown in January 2020, is based on Ian's exhibition of his journey from his lowest point to how he deals with those challenges each day.  The documentary also takes in the views of the participants at Art and Minds and how this has helped them in their own journeys.  The film will be available online on our youtube channel after the VIP Viewing.

While filming Ian heard the Community Choir who practice at West Studios and felt their music would work well in the documentary.  We went down and recorded several beautiful tracks with them which appear in the Doc. 

 2018 - Short Film Project - "THEY CAME FROM YOUR FEET" B.Movie with Kaps Autism Community Group.

Written by ginger, Filmed & Produced by Josh 

We delivered our First ever Film Premiere in May 2019 from our New Studio at Holywell Street.  This little film was enthusiastically accepted by the VIP guests. The Film; a project that we created with Kaps.Autism Community Group back in the summer of 2018 during one days shoot.  All the actors in the film are from the group.  We filmed entirely in one day at our Studio (then at West Studios) and then the film spent around 5 months in post-production being edited by Josh. The film is a silent B type movie titled "They came from your feet" 

The film will appear in our mini Film Festival in 2020.
