Films Used (in order of appearance)

Girl Rising - Montage from Sarofsky on Vimeo.

Last year, Oscar nominated filmmaker Richard Robbins came to Erin to discuss his latest documentary, Girl Rising.

This film journeys around the globe to witness the strength of the human spirit and the power of education to change a girl - and the world. Girl Rising consists of nine different girl’s stories of how education factored into her life circumstances. Each girl was paired with a female writer from her own country, and then her story was filmed and narrated. Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Selena Gomez and other acclaimed actors contribute voice performances to the film, which also features original music from Academy Award winner Rachel Portman and Grammy Award winner Lorne Balfe.

Robbins’ approach to the film created a unique challenge: how do we create an open and interstitials that add a depth of knowledge and global context, as well as maintain the flow of the movie? That's where Sarofsky helped. After lengthy discussions and numerous script revisions, we developed a series of scenarios that feature a group of girls, who present important statistical information in both a playful and filmic way. Combining our visuals, Robbins’ writing and Liam Neeson’s voiceover made for not only a beautiful piece, but also an effective way to weave the different stories together.

Toca Me 2013 from Timo Boese on Vimeo.

Opener for the Toca Me Design Conference 2013

In his work for the TOCA ME 2013 event in Munich, director Timo Böse came up with this blend of classic meets modern. Through interrelated pictorial elements and subtle modulation of intense colours and soothing sound, he suffused his piece with a vibrant softness. The traditional Still Life arrangements are enhanced by subtle 3D animations, evoking the artists associated with the event.

A finalist for the 2014 SXSW Excellence in Title Design Awards, Feed Your Creative Brain is the opening titles leftchannel (leftchannel.com/) created for the motion 2013 conference, the TED Talks of our industry.

Having full creative reign in coming up with the opening titles for motion 2013, we focused on bringing to life the conference theme, "feed your creative brain," with the use of typography, cel and character animation, and our personal favorites, tentacles and minions.

Thanks to the motion staff for having full faith in us to deliver something cool in three weeks. We loved the process, love the result and absolutely loved the event. Also a very special thanks to Allen DiCenzo of Circa Music for the great sound design!

Simply put: This are three things I really like; and conceptually this project came full circle since this is a failed experiment in itself. It was meant to become something completely different but luckily enough took on a life of its own.
