Elite Private Banking is our latest interactive project created for Deutsche Bank PBC. It’s an on-line multimedia presentation where user can find information about private banking and wide range of services offered by Deutsche Bank. Crafting the visuals and animations we were inspired by paintings and sculptures made by abstractionists (mainly Hans Arp). Hope you like it ;-)

It’s been a while since we posted something here! Next 2 months will be full of updates,
I promise.

Allegro Backstage is one of our latest, interactive projects created in cooperation with advertising agency Brain Warsaw. For those unfamiliar - Allegro is the biggest online store in Poland. Taking the campaigns big idea ‘Millions of things are fighting for your attention’ we came up with an interactive experience showcasing backstage preparation of 3 Allegro things for an auction. Each character represents different shop category. By selecting different products on the illustrated backgrounds you are transfered to Allegro subpage with specific search results. Unfortunately website is not available in english but we hope you enjoy it anyway.

Martini Asti is our new production commissioned by XRS / Bacardi - Martini Poland.

We wanted to create a very clean and simple website with a clearly marked feeling of elegance. We came out with a series of small illustrations to represent each of the sections and a navigation which allows user to click and drag left or right to switch between them.

We figured out that the bottle needs to stand always in the middle and all the elements will flow around it, but to give it more 3d feeling we rendered a video of our bottle rotating 30 degrees and combined with the floor, which we made in PaperVision.

Check it out!

‘Because healthy babies are happy babies’

During last months, we have worked on the new site for Bebiko, one of the sub-brands of Nutricia Poland, producing food for babies.

Bebiko came along with a little competition, allowing people to submit videos and photos of their children, finishing up the sentence: “Do I look like…?” The main theme for the site was a happy, bright and “smiling” environment, so we figured out to create kind of a baby room with lots of funny toys and details. We’ve had a lot of fun creating those little flash and 3D animations and overall, it was fun to work on the site :) Of course, there are also desktop wallpapers and a nice screensaver…

A nice addition is also, that the site loads in two variations - night and day, depending on what time of the day you’re browsing it. The day version displays before 6pm and after that time, you will see the night version. You can also switch it at any time!

Have a nice clicks :)

Welcome to the world of colours and good taste. Welcome to Redd’s!

We would like to present our new project for Redd’s. This is the thing that kept us busy last time. Redd’s belongs to one of the biggest brewery companies in Poland - Kompania Piwowarska, and yes it’s a fruit beer for women. In this one we were responsible for Key Visual of whole campaign which later on was used in press, on the bottles/cans and internet. We generated over 30 millions of codes that went on the packages. Codes are necessary for users to log into the site, upload their work or cast a vote. We are not quite big fans of User Generated Content websites because it’s really hard to control what you have inside and even harder to make it look good and fit the design but nonetheless we tried our best and here’s the result. Sound design for the site was crafted by Marcelo Baldin.

Hope you like it.

We have just released a project for Bacardi Mojito which is a part of existing campaign named Elixir with well known ads of fluid people. Because work title of the campaign is ‘360′ we tried to create a navigation that would fit the name and the same be something unusual. Project done in cooperation with XRS New Media .

I’m sure we’ll post case study later on as well.
Have fun!

We did promo minisite for latest production of Devoid of Yesterday. Devoid is an arts based collective specializing in the creation of personal short film projects and not for profit commissions. Although consisting of motion directors Rob Chiu and Chris Hewitt, Devoid’s work is about as far removed from the world of commercial motion design as you can possibly get. Together with Ben Boysen the trio are plotting out new territory that is constantly changing with the emotions and experiences gained from the friendship that binds the three together. Devoid of Yesterday creates dark twisted narratives with flickers of hope that reflect the human nature of the artists. Please choose maximized version of video and enjoy watching.
