*UNSUNG HEROES* pelican sound

“Over the years, I’ve found that resampling and reprocessing are some of the most powerful techniques in Sound Design, more so than any single plugin or piece of gear. One tiny moment in an animation might need just a single sound to hit right…or it might need 30 layers blended, smashed, stretched, and reshaped into something entirely new. That’s where the magic lives, taking something simple and manipulating it until it resonates.”

*ONLY ON* Tall Tales: Jonathan Zawada Defies Cliché in Thom Yorke’s Anxious Universe – Pt 1

“Mark Pritchard and I have worked together for 10–15 years. Hearing his demos, even early on, the album felt special—each song demanded visual treatment. We bonded over reinvention; I don’t stick to one style, just as Mark shifts musically. The synergy deepened with Thom Yorke’s anxiety-laden vocals.”

*ONLY ON* Maira Kalman’s The Residence Main Titles: Murder, She Drew

“The goat painting represents a shift from conscious thought into subconscious chaos. It adds to the disorientation and surreal logic of the sequence. I reused a visual idea from the Season 1 intro—where Mark jumps into his own head—and reinterpreted it here. In Season 1, the jump represented the split between Mark’s “innie” and “outie” selves. In Season 2, it becomes a descent into his fractured inner world. The painting also ties back to how ‘Severance’ uses framed artwork as symbolic riddles.”

The Creative Midlife Crisis: Shifting from Auteur to Curator

We all reach that point eventually: the satisfaction of another project or another award is replaced by an uneasy dread. You realize the old ways no longer feel fulfilling—maybe because the technology is evolving faster than you can keep up, or your expertise is suddenly less in demand.

AI as Co-Creator: NVIDIA’s Engine for Amplifying Creative Ambition at Scale

With the GeForce RTX 5090 launch and the Blackwell architecture, NVIDIA elevates Motion Design through computational alchemy. It enables real-time rendering, enhances collaboration, and automates asset creation.

This does not mean AI is replacing artists—instead, it is empowering them with creative superpowers. Today, the challenge is no longer technological—it’s imaginative.

The sky is the limit.

*…BREAKDOWN!* Cunningham & Ménard’s TRIPLE BILL: The Wild West of Hybrid Filmmaking

“We think there’s something fundamentally different in a picture shot in camera – the imperfections and the intricacies of real light and dust grounds the experience in a way that’s hard to replicate digitally.”

*UNSUNG HEROES* Box of Toys

“Asking the team, it seems we don’t have any stand out influences, just that we love most film, anime, TV, games and music. There’s almost not enough time in the day to consume it all but suffice to say we’re just a bunch of nerds who love what we do. In an effort to not appear completely beige we would venture that we’re all more into the darker side of storytelling!”

*ONLY ON* Ben Berman’s ‘HEADS’ The Inside Scoop – Dark Comedy, Jump Cuts & the Joy of Making Audiences Say ‘WTF’?

“The idea from the start was simple: document Jack’s work and animate his heads speaking. I’ve used this animation style in one or two of my past projects. But Jack’s heads—his art, his sculptures—were so striking and intriguing that I wanted to bring them to life. Maybe even take them to another level, though they certainly don’t need it.”
