Promotional video
This 15-second promotional video for Collision Festival 2024 showcases dynamic graphical patterns and animated titles. Inspired by the primary logo's design, we've crafted unique patterns for each category. These patterns seamlessly transition between categories, both as a cohesive sequence and individual loops, effectively highlighting each aspect of the festival. Moreover, each pattern animation serves as a captivating standalone short video loop, enhancing the festival's promotional content. Additionally, the video integrates motion for branding assets like the logo and typography, ensuring a cohesive and engaging visual experience throughout.

Ludo Sans typeface
Typography
LudoSans is a handcrafted sans serif typeface.

Using the Strata-Cut technique, the characters move and change in colour and pattern bringing a level of playfulness and fun, that is unique to the process.
Strata-Cut is a form of stop-motion animation invented in the 20s
and 30s by Oskar Fischinger, refined in the 80s by David Daniels.
In this instance, the typeface is modelled out of multicoloured strands of plasticine
into a long length of ‘loaf’ that is sliced very thinly. Each slice is recorded by the camera, and when the frames play sequentially, the type forms organically evolve.
This project is a collaboration with Janina Sitzmann.




Google Wear OS
Live-action video & stills
In close collaboration with the Hornet team, this vibrant 
day-in-the-life spot was created for Google.
The focus was on the craft, as seen through the symmetry of the hand-crafted sets and elaborate color schemes of each scene. Each set was built on a continuous track and slid in and out of frame by hand. The resulting spot is a beautifully organic and clean piece.
