History

Specialmoves was started 10 years ago by Darrell Wilkins, Pascal Auberson and James Norwood, 3 friends who met on the influential MediaLab Arts (now iDAT) Degree in Plymouth.

The company was founded on 3 core values that are as true today as when we started.

The pursuit of brilliant

We're not interested in the mediocre or average. We want people to say wow! when they see the things we do.

Continuous learning

Everyone will benefit. We love the empowerment that knowledge gives us. Applying that knowledge is Specialmoves. In this game knowledge is very definitely power. It's what fuels Specialmoves.

Enjoy the ride

Our attitude towards our work, our staff and our environment all reflect this. What's the point of doing it if we're not enjoying it.

We looked at other creative industries and realised that, production, especially high-end production was often outsourced. Architects don't build buildings, they design them. Ad agencies don't make TV ads, they write them and hire a production company to make them.

It was clear to us that Specialmoves should be a interactive production company, not an agency. This allowed us to focus on the things that we excel at: creating brilliant interactive work.
