Hasta La Motion!

It has been a great year so far for title sequences, add another to 2013: Directed by Irmak Arkman, Main Titles for GRID, Digital Culture and Moving Images Festival.

Istanbul has become an exciting new destination for art and design of late; this new festival aims to celebrate that development with a fitting new format that helps facilitate networking and collaborations. Hopefully, the festival will earn itself a good place in the usual circuit of European design festivals helping further integrate Istanbul with the European design scene and providing easy access for creative professionals from Balkans, Middle East and beyond.

GRID will create an important platform for training and networking providing designers, artists, advertising and cinema professionals of Turkey the chance to get together and benefit from the experiences of the best names over a broad spectrum of design –ranging from web design to typography, illustration to post-production, interaction and experience design to social media campaigns. Meanwhile, it will provide international ad and design community the chance to get to know better the much-coveted Istanbul scene and make valuable contacts there.

The festival will have two editions every year –one in spring and the other in fall. The line-up for the second edition will take place in next fall.

The latest work from Psyop for Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey: Swarm. Together with Arnold Worldwide and Smuggler, Psyop developed a spot that features an unstoppable force of CG bees on the hunt for a bottle of Tennessee Honey.

“Shooting on the Warner Bros backlot allowed us a lot of control over the shots,” commented Psyop Creative Director, Laurent Ledru. “Working with Arnold and Smuggler made for a smooth production, and we were able to get what we needed in camera with the expert eye of Director of Photography, Robert Elswitt.”

The new spot was first pre-released via Twitter/Facebook and garnered more than 10 million impressions before ever hitting the TV waves.

“’Swarm’ is an evolution of the original King Bee launch spot, we wanted the new spot to demonstrate the many fans that Tennessee Honey has acquired throughout the year,” said Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey Senior Brand Manager Casey Nelson. “King Bee is back with his swarm – his followers.”

“Swarm” has aired on NBA and NHL playoff games, late night TV, sports and lifestyle programming. Jack Honey and the “Swarm” TV spot will be back on air three more times this fiscal year in support of the other Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey program periods.
