Winner of the Best Ident!
My entry for the 2017 NODE Fest Ident Competition. The theme was "dots" which I approached in the most crazy fun way I could think of, utilising a variety of both in-camera and post effects.
I started with the classic visual motif of samurai sword attacks. A clean slice always paced with a pause, and followed by violent release of blood. In this world however, dots are found within. Dots are also used to create the TV static effect.
I also wanted to explore using live action footage with anime techniques. I achieved this with the use of wind machines and extra fabric where possible to really emphasise the life of the shots.
