Mongrel Media Intro

Posted in: Uncategorized

Mongrel Media is one of Canada’s leading film distribution companies specializing in art house, foreign and independent feature films and documentaries.

Helios created a new title intro to be debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival. Slow motion footage of a running dog was stabilized, tracked and rotoscoped. The resulting footage was layered into a dynamic composition and treated to resemble the look of an animated oil painting.

Matthew Walker: John & Karen

Posted in: Aardman, arthur cox, awkward, communication, dating, dialogue, friends with benefits, General, matthew walker, ottawa, penguin, Polar Bear

“About last night… I am sorry.” In Matthew Walker‘s short film, John & Karen, we’re dropped in the midst of a very awkward moment between an earnest polar bear and (justifiably?) aggravated she-penguin. While this film isn’t brand spanking new, or as glossy as our usual content, it is a great example of creating a story with its own small universe through good timing, body language, and just the right bit of dialogue.

And for those of you who also had a rough Friday night, there’s always hope of patching things up.
