dolos - title sequence

In Greek mythology, Dolos is the spirit of trickery and guile. He is also a master at cunning deception, craftiness, and treachery.

Following the naming convention developed by “NASA” to label their space missions using greek mythology (Apollo, Gemini, Aquarius, etc.) Dolos was chosen to represent the lies NASA wants us to believe.

For this project we were asked to create a title sequence to an imaginary TV show. I am a bit of a space buff and loved the idea of a space themed TV show. Although I don't believe in these conspiracies it was a lot of fun to dive into them and find unique ways to sneak them into the video. I created all of the motion and edited the audio to fit the subject matter.

For Will Smith’s 50th birthday he was challenged to Heli-Bungee over the Grand Canyon. This is when you attach a bungee jumping cord to the bottom of a helicopter and jump out. After doing this daredevil stunt he was flown back to the edge of the Canyon and delivered this inspirational message. He mentions that life isn’t easy, you’re going to get hurt, get your heart broken, but it is worth it. “You can’t experience the joy that is intended for you in life if you don’t commit.” This speech is spoken with such inflection that just a transcript doesn’t do it justice. I attempted to show the same inflection he uses in his voice through kinetic type.

ANIMATED FLOOR PLANS

Staying ahead in the real estate market often means staying familiar with current trends. Right now it is easy to see that rich media is trending upwards while conventional and repetitive materials are on the decline. As technology and media evolve so should the real estate and multi-family housing markets. One approach that is being used to tackle this issue is through creating immersive experiences that draw in the client and help them stay engaged in the media. In a world where attention spans are shortening, creating interesting content isn’t just important, it’s necessary.

Traditionally apartment floor plans are static and appear more architectural and rigid, it can be difficult to imagine living in a space that is just lines and labels. An animated floor plan on the other hand creates a dynamic space that can draw the consumer in and help engage them in the media. Setting the community apart is so important in such a saturated market so we are working on discovering new ways to push boundaries in this space.

These were made in Adobe Illustrator and animated in Adobe After Effects.

LOGO ANIMATIONS

There are a wide range of applications for an animated logo. Especially in the real estate market, most interactions with a client will be online. Each of these logos is animated to bring interest to the mark while also showing off different brand elements. Uses range from eBlasts, websites, videos, social posts, and more.
