AAA Consultants are an advisory service for Animation Producers & Studios wishing to send all or part of their productions to overseas studios. We have over 24 years experience in overseas production so are well qualified to advise and find the perfect partner for your TV series, specials, features, commercials, etc. Anything from basic traditional 2D up to theatrical release quality. Flash Animation to CGI. We can advise on budget, scheduling and structure. In fact, all aspects of pre-production. We can also provide supervisors to oversee your work in-house.
We have not only worked in overseas supervision but are filmmakers first and foremost with a deep affection and knowledge of our industry. There are too many horror stories of what's befallen various productions. Whether it be unacceptable work, missed delivery dates, destroyed budgets, general bad advice, blatant false promises - or worse!
AAA Consultants can help you avoid all of these pitfalls by guiding you to one of our many overseas contacts that are tried, tested and can be trusted.
I have known both David Elvin and Russell Murch from the time we all set out on our careers in animation. Through good times and bad, at home and abroad we have been lucky enough to be a part of a flourishing British animation industry. Over the years Bob Godfrey Films Limited has often collaborated with David and Russell employing their talents both as in-house artists and as producers who have extensive knowledge of the Far East. I know of no other agency with whom I would be happy to place a production.
We knew Russell by reputation before we had an opportunity to work with him, and when we did we found that it was all true! Russell's ability to manage complicated and time sensitive productions is one of his many skills, combined with many years of experience across a number of different countries and animation systems. His flexible approach to problem solving works especially well in overseas situations, where the inherent challenges of production can be enhanced by a variety of other factors, some foreseeable and some certainly not! We would not hesitate to recommend AAA Consultants.
At a time when so much Animation production is being either fully or inpart, produced abroad it is increasingly important that European producers have a high quality facility available to handle every facet of the process. AAA Consultants is run by two highly experienced producer/directors who will provide exactly this service. I highly recommend them both.
Russell Murch has a solid experience in all aspects of animation, which includes working as an Overseas Production Supervisor in Asia for several years. Diplomatic and reliable, he successfully supervised productions with extremely tight deadlines for post production and airdates with the added bonus of being respected and well liked by the overseas animation directors and animators. AAA Consultants will absolutely benefit any studio with good advice and practical help in setting up a production destined for an overseas animation studio.
Any animation producer nowadays is confronted with a bewildering choice when it comes to outsourcing animation. However good the credentials of the studio he or she chooses, there will be problems, predictable and unforeseen. Russell Murch is the type of person you need to represent your interests at the other end of the world as the pressure builds, deadlines approach and things start to go wrong. It seems he has that rare combination of diplomacy and firmness essential for managing a production in Asia.
Russell Murch has been, in my experience, eminently reliable, knowledgeable, and most importantly, totally honest in his assessment of each production situation under his purview. The fact that he manages to do all of this while being polite, tactful and diplomatic is no inconsequential feat. In short, if you need eyes and ears on the job overseas, Russell's the next best thing to going there yourself - maybe even better!
I have had the pleasure of working with Russell Murch and I'm happy to recommend him highly for his expertise in all manner of overseas production. It is absolutely necessary to have someone at the studio looking out for your best interests. That person must be able to correctly asses where the production is, and determine how to manage time and resources so that critical deadlines are met, while keeping quality at its highest level. Russell's suggestions for pre production and keeping the production moving ahead were excellent, and allowed us to meet our goals and deadlines with what is still, an extremely successful show! I would not hesitate to contact Asia Animation Agency Consultants for future projects overseas!
BECTU is the UK union for those working in broadcasting, film, theatre, entertainment, leisure, interactive media and allied areas.

During this period they have both been at the heart of the animation industry and have been a rich source of information when grappling with difficult issues. This is a very tough business, which requires experienced professionals and without doubt these two guys have the experience and talent.
David is an excellent animation supervisor and his partnership with Russ Murch in AAA is an excellent combination. Together they cover the animation spectrum with many years of experience in overseas animation supervision, in multiple countries, dealing with numerous clients in both Europe the US and Canada. Latch on to their expertise and benefit from this invaluable knowledge for your next animation project! Top Qualities: Expert, Good Value, Creative.
