Andre Maat Superelectric: Fox Cult IDs

cult_04
Directing duo Superelectric (Henk Loorbach) & Andre Maat created this series ( part 1 / part 2 ) of idents for Fox Cult (Italy). Produced with Pool Worldwide, these pieces were an off-shoot of a music video Superelectric had done for Kraak n Smack. Simple, seamless and clever executions make each one of these 17 idents an enjoyable watch. Additionally, the palette and quirk of their art direction keep them planted in the Dutch world of whimsy.

You may have also caught this video I posted in January for De Staat. Keep your eyes on these fellas in 09.

Based on a music video for Dutch group Kraak & Smaak, the same directors have repurposed the flip-book-meets-real-world concept for this series of idents for Fox owned Italian channel Cult.

According the channel, the idents are “an intriguing game of perspectives in which the protagonist is the claim of the channel: TV or not TV?.”

For a channel which describes itself as “curious, nonconformist and irreverent”, this trippy collection of mildy confusing idents, and an equally strange slogan all somehow works perfectly.
