Company 4 - Three Stones Media "Makin' A Bad Ting Good"

The fourth instalment of the stop-motion studios road show will be dedicated to Three Stones Media. The company was originated in 2007 as a collaboration and is based in Battersea in London, Three Stones Media are a smaller company in the market, particularly when compared to other organisation that have been analysed in this section of the blog. With one chairperson and two production staff, Three Stones Media will appear to rely on freelance and partnership work for projects.

One thing that can be seen as a huge positive when working for Three Stones Media is the continuity factor. The company will really throw itself into a project, and will focus upon it to ensure the highest quality of end result possible. As a worker, I would fit into this framework, as I like to maintain a meticulously high standard of work as possible, especially when delivering a final product.

This is evident in the development of children's television series Rastamouse. As it is a smaller, locally based organisation, Three Stones Media really have to make their projects successful and reputable, as larger competitors could theoretically gazump them. But the success they have accrued with an established brand such as Rastamouse has been fantastic for them to get a foothold in the industry, especially as this renowned series was the first to carry the studios name since it's inception.

Since then, Three Stones media have produced many episodes of Rastamouse of CBeeBies, and it has been nominated for numerous awards include Best Pre-School Programme at the Broadcast Awards on several occasions, including 2016. It shows that delivering on project to the best of your abilities can be just as effective as delivering many projects but spreading resources.

Three Stones Media's distribution and production of Rastamouse has been fantastic. I think I would be a good fit at Rastamouse as I would like to try and work in the puppet department to get some basic knowledge of the fabrics and materials where there is a crossover into the art department. But after having talks with people that worked on Rastamouse I would learn a lot from the people I would be working with and my skills would definitely improve on a production such as this.
