Project Description

It takes a community to make and share a great story. SXSW’s festival celebrates that community and dedicates itself to helping creative people achieve their goals. That commitment really rang true when our friends at SXSW invited us to create the opening title sequence for the 2022 Film Festival. It’s our fourth year collaborating together. This time, we created an anthology or an exquisite corpse with several artists to explore different visual styles that speak to the diversity of films that play at SXSW. The Festival team loved our goal to showcase multiple genres of film, and 14 easter eggs, through style and scene variation.

This project took place over the course of roughly four months with a team of fifteen. Across all sections we used the entire Adobe Suite as well as Cinema4D and other softwares.
