zach had some ideas about how he wanted the title sequence to be a part of the film's opening narrative sequence. after some discussion we settled on the treatment you see here, itself a visualisation of what it feels like when ideas or even simply words appear in your mind. the reason we did this will be obvious when you see the film.

the film has since been acquired and distributed by NEON you can watch the trailer 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.

caspar and stevie experimented with a few approaches before settling on the one you see here. the idea that made the most sense was using repetitive animated type and photo sequences to speak both obliquely and directly about scrolling, following, stalking and the heat that can come from that.

we collaborated once again with john delucca on the poster design.

the first task was to screen-record a sequence where the film's protagonist plans a trip through town using google maps. into this sequence caspar then composited photographs he'd taken on set of two cast members on skateboards.

the second task was the printing and placing into a cinema lightbox on set of the film's actual poster. this meta sequence can be seen in the film's startling denouement. 

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.
