Oscar Nominated Short Film “Logorama”

Oscar Nominated Short Film "Logorama"

Just watched the short film “Logorama” during a render and was blown away by the animation and creativity. What I am really impressed with is the pre-production and set design that went into it! To gather the thousands, maybe even millions 2,500 Logos used to create the world must have been a painstaking task. The [...]

Colorado Lottery Birth of a Ticket

Colorado Lottery Birth of a Ticket

Futuristic Films shot on 35mm film, transferred to HDCam SR at Lightpress. After the first day of rough cut, the creative process was at a standstill. Matt Struck set aside the storyboards and presented a completely different cut, that eventually became the final version with agency, production company and client input. It’s always good to hear a round of applause coming from the AVID suite!
