josiah newbolt ran the film footage through various plugins, circuit bent machines and outputted the results through a series of vintage monitors. these monitors were then digitally filmed, the footage imported, and the imagery then processed further in the computer before export.

a few days before the 2022 cannes film festival producer adele romanski reached out and asked if we had the time to create the title sequence for a new film she had produced called aftersun. we connected with the film on a number of levels and immediately committed to the work.

caspar sent the director, charlotte wells, some typeface ideas based on the film’s overall mood and his experiences of growing up in the 90s. they then began work on customizing and animating the chosen typeface in a fashion that charlotte and he felt appropriate to the tone of the film. all the while caspar’s brother josiah got to work on creating the end crawl.

you can read more about our involvement in the project here, and you can watch the titles themselves here.

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.

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.

the music video for the album's first single, stitches, was an attempt to bring back the feeling of using the sinclair ZX spectrum computer, whilst detailing some of the album's narrative elements. paul and caspar wrote the video's story, which expanded upon the lyrics jonathan bates from big black delta was singing on the song. john delucca then beautifully redrew and further illustrated the graphics caspar had made for the vinyl record's packaging in pixel art format, and josiah newbolt then animated those graphics.
