Boom Clap Play’s Vision for Belfast 2024
At Boom Clap Play, we set out to explore the potential of Azure Kinect depth sensors, navigating both opportunities and challenges to unlock new creative possibilities for interactive experiences.
Boom Clap Play is an Animation and design studio in Belfast that has always had a childlike spirit at its core, driven by the imaginations of its founders, David and Andy. For years, the studio has been dedicated to creating content for children, blending creativity, technology, and play in unexpected ways.
From crafting stories with puppets to building immersive experiences that explore the cosmos, Boom Clap Play has never shied away from pushing the boundaries of what kids’ entertainment can be.
Play is the invisible thread that ties everything together, the creative energy that fuels the universe. As we grow older, we often forget how vital it is to our everyday lives. Our mission is simple: to infuse the spirit of play into every project, creating work that both inspires and elevates. Whether we’re exploring cutting-edge technology or telling timeless stories, play remains at the heart of everything we do.
Our journey began with an ambitious idea—to create a mind-bending virtual reality poem that captured the history of the universe. This project was our “big bang” moment, launching us into a creative journey that continues to this day, with the occasional heated debate over what color a void should be!
Since then, we’ve grown and expanded our capabilities, taking on a wide range of projects. We’ve brought immersive installations to life, passionately delivered distinctive branding concepts, and crafted motion graphics that tell powerful, moving stories. Our studio has also ventured into short films, where we’ve laughed, cried, and everything in between while creating animations that resonate emotionally.
But we haven’t stopped there. We’ve also delved into the world of interactive sound design, developing immersive AR and VR experiences that challenge the imagination and push creative boundaries.
In everything we do—whether it’s animation, branding, design, or interactive media—we remain committed to the playful spirit that drives our creativity. As an animation and design studio in Belfast, play isn’t just something we enjoy; it’s how we approach every project and how we bring fresh, innovative ideas to life. We create work that doesn’t just exist but leaves a lasting impact.
