_what
title sequence and motion graphics for the tv series, the girlfriend experience.
_how
writer / director anja marquardt invited us to create titles and some motion graphics pieces for the 3rd season of the girlfriend experience. anja had written and was directing the entire season herself, and as fans of our work she was excited to see what we could bring to the table for her.

caspar teamed up once again with joey ciccoline and josiah newbolt and they immersed themselves fully into the fast-paced world of a television series production. the screenshots you see here give you a taste of the varying styles of animation work we produced for the 10 episode season.

we'd also like to draw your attention to the incredible soundtrack our friend and long-time collaborator matthew pusti (AKA makeup and vanity set) composed for this 3rd season. you can listen to that here.

_what
writing, directing, title design and poster design for the short film, light up the night.
_how
executive producer john la valle approached us with idea of making a film of a section of the protomen's second record, act II: the father of death. the band chose light up the night as the song, and we approached collaborator matt sundin to co-direct the project with us.

development of the project took some years. the end result, shot in new york city and starring james ransone, you can see here. a testament to the band and everyone else involved, the film pays homage to many of the things that inspired us to do the work we do today.

we collaborated once again with john delucca on the film's title sequence and its poster design. josiah newbolt and joey ciccoline handled the bulk of the post-production motion graphics and compositing work.

MAVS_88:88_record sleeve

packaging
_what
record sleeve for the film soundtrack, 88:88.
_how
this is the soundtrack makeup and vanity set made for joey ciccoline's excellent, award winning short film, 88:88. the cover artwork was created to fall more in line with the film's imagery, rather than the artwork we created for makeup and vanity set's own limited edition release of the score. it gives less away about the film's true nature.

_what
VHS tape and poster for makeup and vanity set's film soundtrack, 88:88.
_how
this was a project that started out with MAVS sending us demos and whispering things about it possibly being a film soundtrack. we were then contacted by the film's director, joey ciccoline. joey showed us the film and sent some ideas he'd had for possible directions for the artwork. included in his package was a poster for the 1985 kid's science fiction film, the explorers. this poster single handedly informed the initial designs we created for the film soundtrack. these designs were then scrapped when joey then expressed interest more in a design that told you less about the narrative, and gave you simply a sense of mystery. 

fortunately MAVS then had the idea to do a parallel release in the form of a limited edition VHS cassette and poster. this would then come out later than the official film artwork, and give the original pieces we created a place to live. a tangent universe if you will.

you can see photos of the VHS tape here.
