SUDU brand launch ad campaign – There are no finish lines

Earlier this year we worked on the launch of new sports brand SUDU. At Serotonin we helped develop three brand films and an OOH campaign, a well as the ongoing social campaigns.

From storyboarding, art direction and final design, the aim was to create a compelling narrative

A journey, grounded in authenticity, with a raw-ness, a realness that lands the new brand firmly in the active landscape. 

We did this by showing the product in exciting and dynamic ways, across multiple situations, locations and uses... it's time to respect the resilant... there are no finish lines.

Focusing on three product categories, road, track and trail, the concept celebrates the everyday-heroes that respect the work and put the in the hard-yards when everyone else is still asleep.

Northern Digital Awards

It was great to be nominated for a couple of awards at the recent Northern Digital Awards, including best integrated campaign for my Sussex Modern campaign. Unfortunately didn't walk away this time with any gongs but it was a great evening.

 

 

The awards celebrate digital and marketing campaigns, websites, apps, software, tech and of course the incredible agencies and teams that invest innovative thinking, creativity and passion into their work and region.

Red Bull – Gaming Sphere

Love this incredible footage around the Red Bull Gaming Sphere space in London shared recently on instagram.

 

I worked on the branding and identity for the Gaming Spheres several years ago when they were first developing their gaming and e-games concept and strategy. This was following on from a number of the other Red Bull identities I created for them.

The Sphere regularly hosts tournaments, bootcamps and workshops, enabling professionals, amateurs and fans to level up their game.

Reebok x Keith Haring

A really cool project to work and lead on... a collaboration between an iconic brand and legendary artist. Below are a couple of the social stories, followed by a couple of key visuals. Each release in the pack has its own narrative relating to each release and the artwork it is inspired by - through the creative concept which turners the consumer into artist and brings the life in front of your eyes, with the shoe becoming part of the process that inspired it.

Reebok x Power Rangers

A collectors pack in the true sense of the word. A pack where all the individual releases come together to build a giant Megazord, and what better way to hero that than by bringing this to life within our key visuals themselves. An illustrated 3D box world animates and comes together, showing that we are stronger together and elevating the true collective nature of the Reebok x Power Rangers release.

Reebok x Kung Fu Panda

Leveraging the graphic language of old Kung-Fu movie posters, graphic novels and the humour of the film franchise, creating the key visuals for the Reebok and KFP collab was a fun project work on.

Starting with a teaser social story campaign based around Chinese New Year before leading into the graphic poster inspired key campaign.

New TV ad – Jacamo FITS (Christmas edition)

A fun shoot and project to be involved with, shot as a stop-frame animation by Tommy Cockram, starring former England Cricket Captain, Freddie Flintoff with post production provided by The Mill.

The stop-frame animation worked really well across social too:

Below are some of the behind the scenes, including me taking a (it was three or four) snowball(s) for the team. I'm thankful it wasn't Freddie wasn't throwing them, an unlucky digi was on the receiving end the next day and whoa!

I also shot a series of four of interviews with Freddie between scenes, where he ponders some the big festive issues check one below, more on Jacamo's youtube channel.

Disney’s Multiplane Camera

20110606_223926_disney.jpg

If you use After Effects, you will enjoy the true origins of the Camera Layer / 2.5D animation from this video from 1957. Technology keeps advancing so fast, and has allowed laptop computers to recreate and improve this same techniques once put together by people wearing slacks and dressy shoes. Good to think about this next time you press that "render" button 🙂

Friendly Fires – Skeleton Boy time-lapse video. Live at Soundcontrol, Manchester 12/05/2011

Messing around with with video settings on my new-ish Canon G12 camera at a gig last night, and discovered the "miniature" setting. Basically a tilt-shift setting, which blurs the top and bottom a bit.

What I didn't realise is that it also plays back at x10 speed and with no sound.

I'm a bit gutted there's no sound as this was one of the best songs of the night, but then at 10x it would be rubbish - which I didn't realise at the time either. I would also have liked the tilt-shift blurriness to have been a bit stronger, as at the minute its more of a time-lapse video rather than minature or tilt-shift. - more play needed I think.

I still think it looks kinda cool being condensed down into 24 seconds - The light show was really good considering the relatively small size of the gig and lead singer Ed Macfarlane dances around like a mad man.

Anyway I thought I'd post it up, so hear it is.  Let me know what you think.
