In celebration and appreciation of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing Mission, we created a fully animated film: One - An Apollo 11 Homage. We would like to share this latest project with you. The anniversary will take place this coming Saturday, the 20th of July 2019, the moment the first man ever landed on the moon 50 years ago.

The Alibaba Group is China's biggest online commerce company. Their mission: to make it easy to do business anywhere. Their aim: to build the future infrastructure of commerce. For the 2018 Alibaba Investor Day Conference we were approached by MerchantCantos Hong Kong to develop the opening film. The film tells the story of Alibaba’s core values and beliefs. By providing small business owners the technology, innovation, infrastructure and reach they want to put the power into the hands of "the little guy". Enabling small businesses to compete with "big business" on a global scale. The aim of the film is to capture the audience's attention in an unexpected and fresh manner. To deliver a message that can't be told by conventional statistics and graphs. The film opened the Investor Day Conference, hosted by Jack Ma and Daniel Zhang at the Alibaba headquarters in Hangzhou China. It was screened on a custom built curved ultra-wide screen.

TV channel Spike approached us to help them develop the visual identity for their reality tv show Ink Master. In this third season the shows theme is Shop Wars, as they follow eight duos from different tattoo parlours compete against each other to win the title Master of the Lowlands. The show is all about the battle between the tattoo parlour teams. To emphasise this battle element our concept for the leader was to create posters that would be torn of the wall. Each tear revealing a new set of contenders as they confront each other. Our visual approach was based on combining photography, typography and tattoo art. This allowed us to create strong and contemporary poster designs and by showing tattoo designs on paper rather than on skin we could maintain a fresh, modern and clean look.

VERSUS - Our contribution to Animography's 'A word, a week' project. Every week another artist or studio was invited to create an animation around a word with one of their animated typefaces. We chose the word 'Versus' and took inspiration from our love for retro video games. An overview on Behance with al 52 weeks in it you can find here https://www.behance.net/gallery/67280275/A-word-a-week

We teamed up with Artbox on this piece for creative agency Gunfight. Gunfight is an in-house new style agency based in London. They offer their clients a project-only creative service and are a partner of Award winning UK production company GreatGuns. We were responsible for the direction en production of this introductory and were inspired to give the animation the look and feel of a graphic novel. Therefore, we searched for creative ways of putting it in a Western setting using all clichés such as vast, empty lands, an old dusted town with a saloon and the always-present swinging doors. With each turn of a next frame, we wanted to visualize iconic elements on one hand and explaining the story of Gunfight in another. To create the best effect throughout the film we combined 2D and 3D animation and we really tried to grasp the painted 2D feel by projection mapping. We relished the opportunity to animate this project and if that wasn’t enough, our creative director took care of the sounddesign and music. We really enjoyed creating and animating this Wild Western shootout!

This commercial is commissioned by Artbox and McCann, our client: Goody Good Stuff. A brand that sets out to make candy healthier, as the candy does not contain any gluten, lactose or gelatin. The commercial introduces the Netherlands to the world of Goody Good Stuff. Therefore, we wanted the commercial to have an authentic, warm and friendly feeling. It's also a reason why we created all the fun animated animal characters. Furthermore, we tried to be consistent in the colours. We used green as a dominant color as it stands for the natural goodness of the candy and the warm colours expressing the playfulness of the brand. It's not that often we get the chance to draw up thousands of candy shooting up in the air so, we wanted to make the most of it and dipped ourselves in delicious candy and friendly surroundings.

We were filled with enthusiasm when Adidas asked to create a commercial for their new product Climaheat. Even more exciting is that the video was set to appear all over the world from England, Russia to China and Korea. Furthermore, we got the opportunity to combine the two disciplines we love most: live action and motion graphics. We worked together with the creative team of Adidas to produce a commercial that would introduce the Climaheat’s jacket and sweater for an online global campaign, featuring Climaheat as the best in class winter performance product. We wanted to find a balance between explaining the actual technological benefit of the products but at the same time giving it an inspirational story. The first direction we performed by traveling through the actual materials and explaining its function in the form of a tech render such as the ‘Heat Seals.’ We chose to give the set a nighttime urban feel, alternated with a mountain look. The runner in the story takes place in an urban setting who is running along old brick walls that are top lit. The dark high key lighting from surrounding lampposts makes the look complete. The hiker is set in a snowy mountain with a short line of sight. We see him walking through high snow and wind hits his jacket. The location for shooting the material was in the Bruynzeel barracks where we build up a city and simulated a snowstorm. This project was our kind of live action meets animation!

Daimler, an automotive corporation and parent company to Mercedes-Benz has valued its tradition of making quality vehicles worldwide since the 19th century. This key principle flows through each division of the Daimler Group with Daimler Fleet Management (DFM) being one of them. DFM offers their clients alternative leasing and financial solutions for contracts and arrangements. They specialize in providing their clients with manual and most of all personal custom-made solutions. DFM was in need of a video that would visualize this key concept of their workflow. In collaboration with creative agency Khanna Reidinga, we set out to visually explain. In this video we combined 2D and 3D animation, starting out with 2D and using infographics for dynamics. We used 3D to create the vehicles that travel through the screen, giving the video more dimension. We wanted to create an infomercial that would tell of Daimler its constant innovation through time, which ensures their ability to keep on writing history.
