ASNF 2 months ago

This is where a brand should consider bringing the best-animated explainer video company on board. Experience can help you avoid common mistakes and reduce investment costs. Video Production is a long term project, you should always go for someone tested and … Read more

Josh Western and Andrew Bacon set up their company Space Forge last year, they started off in a garage with not much else. Today, the two Cardiff-based entrepreneurs have a staff of 25 and are now planning further expansion after raising £7.6m of international seed-funding.

But in space you have no gravity to interfere with the mixing of materials, while you have a pure vacuum and no atmospheric pollution. And you also turn your instruments … Read more
