The History of 'La Cerveza Más Fina' - Nexus Studios & Corona from Nexus Studios on Vimeo.
Under the direction of Nicolas Ménard, Nexus Studios presents this epic stop-motion film takes viewers on a journey through 90 years of the intertwined history of Mexico and iconic beer Corona. Narrated by actor and producer Gael García Bernal and inspired by the art of Pedro Friedeberg, our studio team worked with Andy Gent’s team at Arch Model Studio to design, create and animate a cast of 71 miniature characters, 8 beautifully detailed sets and 350 individually made miniature glass bottles.
From post-revolution Mexico and the birth of Corona, the film leads us through the country’s Golden Age of Cinema and Peso Crisis to see Corona’s international growth, before we arrive in modern day Mexico.

Corona - The History of 'La Cerveza Más Fina' (2019) from Nicolas Ménard on Vimeo.
Toggle subtitles if your Spanish is a little rusty!
Commissioned by Corona Mexico and Observatory, I directed this stop-frame film that travels through the intertwined history of Mexico and Corona.
Narrated by Gael García Bernal and inspired by the art of Pedro Friedeberg, it was produced at Nexus Studios. We worked with Andy Gent’s team at Arch Model Studio to design, create and animate a cast of 71 miniature characters, 8 detailed sets and 350 individually made miniature glass bottles.
The film illustrates complex historical events that are all are boiled down into 4'x3' dioramas.
The music is by Bridget Samuels and was recorded by an orchestra of more than 50 people at Air Studios in London.
Corona put together a making of which you can watch here: vimeo.com/326534667/29bc784eed
Special thanks to Jack Cunningham for his work as Art Director, James Graham who designed the characters and the big team of artists who put a lot of love and sweat into this!

Council is reported to government for library report failures
Libraries correspondent GENE BRODIE on the latest twist in the long-running saga The cobbled-together, evidence-lite and contradictory report recommending the closure of four of the borough’s public libraries now faces a legal challenge – even before Croydon’s Mayor, Jason Perry, gets the wretched document rubber-stamped by his cabinet stooges later this month. Closure threat: Sanderstead is one…

The Tories are savaging libraries – and closing the book on social mobility | John Harris
Since 2010, more than 478 libraries have closed in England, Wales and Scotland. It’s the old Tory con: talk up advancement, then attack the institutions that make it possible
If they weren’t already here, we’d have to invent them: public spaces, crammed with books, computers and information points, where events and meetings regularly take place, and children in particular get an early taste of the world beyond their own immediate experience.

Corona's History (2019) from Nicolas Ménard on Vimeo.
Toggle subtitles if your Spanish is a little rusty!
Commissioned by Corona Mexico and Observatory, I directed this stop-frame film that travels through the intertwined history of Mexico and Corona.
Narrated by Gael García Bernal and inspired by the art of Pedro Friedeberg, it was produced at Nexus Studios. We worked with Andy Gent’s team at Arch Model Studio to design, create and animate a cast of 71 miniature characters, 8 detailed sets and 350 individually made miniature glass bottles.
The film illustrates key historical events boiled down into 4'x3' dioramas.
The music is by Bridget Samuels and was recorded by an orchestra of more than 50 people at Air Studios in London.
Corona put together a making of which you can watch here: vimeo.com/326534667/29bc784eed
Special thanks to Jack Cunningham for his work as Art Director, James Graham who designed the characters and the big team of artists who put a lot of love and sweat into this!

Big Fish the Musical is everything a modern musical should be; fresh, exciting, full of warmth and heartbreakingly beautiful. Based on the film of the same name, and currently playing at The Other Palace, the production examines the ever-changing relationships that exist between parents and their children and explores the ways in which our understanding of our parents influences our own identity.
Will Bloom is a seemingly normal man with normal dreams and a normal life. His father Edward, on the other hand, talks of an epic youth with an odyssey of adventures and Herculean style feats. Will longs to separate the man from the myth, but in doing so begins to understand that when it comes to myth and memory, truth is an inconsequential concept – understand the myth and you’ll understand the man.
With Book by John August and score by Andrew Lippa, Director Nigel Harman’s production questions whether we ever really know our parents and utilises the introspection afforded by the genre to look at the way our memories of the past are influenced by our desires for the future.
Brimming with colour and slightly surrealist designs, Big Fish is an ensemble show with an impressively strong cast. Headliner Kelsey Grammer delivers with ease, conveying a presence of assurance and experience to complement the exuberance of the younger members of the company, who bring the heart of the show to life. Grammer’s comic timing is no less than one would expect, and his cheeky portrayal of the eccentric storyteller father is faultless. Likewise, Clare Burt brings a grounded and polished proficiency to her role, effortlessly gracing the stage as Will’s homely mother.
Jamie Muscato in the role of younger Edward radiates boundless energy and a captivating innocence which, when matched with his dynamic vocals and effortless execution of the choreography, places him as a standout in the cast.
In the role of Edward’s son Will, Matthew Seadon-Young delivers a performance filled with conviction that resonates with restlessness and unanswered questions. While the character’s frustrated cynicism is almost incongruent with his age, it balances perfectly with the jovial enthusiasm of his father.
The energy and passion within the ensemble feed the heart of the production and there is a genuine sense of fun within the cast. This is particularly notable in Frances McNamee’s Josephine and Forbes Masson’s Amos who inject ideas of hope, optimism and spontaneity into the story.
From a design and staging perspective, the concepts are simple but elegantly executed and the use of colour adds a quirky edge, complemented by the seamless incorporation of projections.
Andrew Lloyd Webber has spoken at length about his intentions in purchasing The Other Palace, previously St James Theatre, particularly to serve as a safe haven for the development of new musicals and to ensure the longevity of the genre. Productions such as this are this are testament to his vision and his belief in the modern musical. Big Fish the Musical is a heart-warming, emotionally robust piece that’s sure to send audiences home with an overwhelming sense of joy.
