We won! SXSW Film Design Award; Excellence in Title Design Audience Award

We’re absolutely thrilled to announce Blue Spill won the SXSW Title Design Audience Award!

We Are X is our fourth film collaboration with director Stephen Kijak, and we couldn’t have created the title sequence without the support of Stephen and also, importantly, from Passion Pictures. This sequence was created from a brief based on the band’s slogan; “Psychedelic Violence Crime of Visual Shock” > literally the best brief ever! We also worked with an incredible team, the credits being

Design Director: Allison Brownmoore

Flame Artist: Anthony Brownmoore

Motion Designers: Sylvain Doussa and Joe Nowacki

Assistant Motion Designer: Jon Petter Vorren

SXSW Laurel

We were fortunate to attend SXSW, and had the pleasure of viewing the 27 finalists for the Film Design Award; Excellence in Title Design. We viewed the title sequences back to back at the Alamo Ritz Theatre in Austin, Texas. It was a rare opportunity to view these incredible works in a theatrical setting and also to find a commonality in themes, techniques, colours and approaches.

Here were some of the common threads amongst the nominated sequences:

– understated CG

– nude colour palates

– dust particles

– shallow depth of field

– clean white frames

– live action

– hand crafted techniques

– edited heavily

– small typography with intimate animations

– abstract

– subtle grade

– flickering luminosity

– titles on screen for shorter time periods

 

Jury Award Winner: Sunstone

Audience Award Winner: Blue Spill for We Are X
