Video of The Year 2025

We just won Video of the Year TWICE at the Motion Design Awards! Seeing our debut project, "Hello DOT4", still performing at this level proves to us that timeless design is always worth striving for.

Winning alongside "Signed", the most experimental thing we've ever cooked up, just shows how far we can stretch our creative range. Naturally, we had to celebrate the best way we know how, with a motion piece!

Design

We wanted this project to feel alive. In a world full of ultra-slick and perfectly generated digital art, we went another direction. We wanted texture. We wanted grit. We wanted it to feel like you could reach out and grab it.

We deliberately embraced a look that's a little bit messy, aesthetically flawed, human. Every rough edge and tactile texture is a reminder of the hands-on craft behind the screen.

Shapes

To celebrate, of course we needed some confetti. But just standard confetti? A bit too basic for a design studio. We wanted to flip the script and ask ourselves: how can we make confetti feel a bit more design-related?

That spark led us to create these custom geometric shapes. They are fun, colorful, and playful, turning a traditional celebration into a modular design system of its own. It's chaotic, it's vibrant, and it's the perfect way to sprinkle a little bit of our studio's personality over this project!

Magic Trail

To give the project that extra spice, we wanted the objects to interact with their environment in an magical way. We designed them to leave a trail as they move across the table, transforming the UV map. It's that exact kind of subtle, interactive detail that shows the magic we're able to create through motion design.

Onto The Next One

We couldn't have dreamed of a better chapter for our studio, but of course, this isn't where it ends.
While we're taking a moment to celebrate, our minds are already racing toward the next project. We are committed to raising the bar for ourselves and delivering stunning motion design that leaves an impact.
