Imagination won a silver for its Iosis Concept Film for Ford of Europe’s four door coupé and a bronze medal for Unsung Heroes, a customer relations film for Ericsson. PCI Fitch also won a bronze for its work on HSBC internal sales presentation films.

Other UK winners include VooDooDog’s title sequence for Smokin’ Aces, Gallerymedia’s animation for Hilton International and a clutch of medals for The Edge Picture Company.
