the song of sway lake_title sequence

_what
end title sequence for the feature film, the song of sway lake.
_how
we met director ari gold at a party on his rooftop. in discussions about his forthcoming new film he revealed he was looking for a title sequence. sharing a love for the filmed title sequences of saul bass, we agreed to stay and touch and discuss things further. a few weeks later producer alexandra byer, cinematographer shabier kirchner and i found ourselves upstate filming by a lake. not long after that were cutting the sequence you see here into the film. the piece combines almost every aspect of what we do as a company, from record cover design through to film direction.

_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 caspar approached friend and collaborator matt sundin to co-direct the project with him.

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

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