Measure 88 (ILN Cut)

We all take our cars for granted. But for many Oregonians, driving to Trek in the Park isn’t an option. Measure 88 is an initiative that aims to help everyone to drive legally. Being able to drive isn’t just a luxury – it’s critically important for the individual – and the larger community.

Porter Robinson Worlds Tour Visuals

We created a wild visual universe for Porter Robinson’s Worlds tour – combining anime with pixel art and glitched out Tumblr-inspired cg into epic landscapes and storylines. A huge cast of animated characters explore love, longing, and adventure in a series of fantastic alternate realities – which unfold on a massive set of on-stage LED screens. As Porter composed the Worlds album, he amassed a huge collection of links, screenshots, and story ideas pulled from the worlds of anime and online MMORPGs.

Google I/O After Hours 2013

Google asked us to take the idea of input/output and run with it for their After Hours party at the 2013 Google I/O conference.

We re-imagined the Google identity as a series of futuristic facilities – a nod to both the physical concept of manufacturing and the binary nature of digital code.

We produced over 15 minutes of ultra HD footage that played out on 7 huge (as in 80 feet huge) screens. Our good friends at Glowing Pictures delivered an incredible visual performance on the night of the event.
