20 Things 2011


So here it is, for the second year: our '20things' from 2011!

We've taken 20 seminal (or just mental) events from the year on the internet and carefully weaved them together into a single illustration - this year crafted by us.

Your challenge? Name each of the 20 events.

To get involved and join the conversation simply follow us on Twitter and tweet

Hi guys,

Few months ago Ubisoft (San Francisco, US) asked us - Ars Thanea (and another 5 companies) to make a research on packaging for their newest game: Assassin’s Creed II. Whole team was very exited because we had the opportunity to access early assets and previews of the game. As we are all gamers we were curious with what guys from Ubisoft came this time. We’ve read mini scenario of the game and it all sounded great. Interesting story, improved gameplay, italian architecture, many new quests for players and finally two blades! Who wouldn’t be happy?

Check it out the results HERE.

Hope you enjoy it,
Cheers!

Hello,

In cooperation with Platige Image, we prepared complete Key Visual for new nFilmHD and nFilmHD2 premium movie channels. We were responsible for concept, design, art direction and Platige Image took care of production & animation.

We were tasked to create seven 10 seconds short spots, one 35 seconds plus whole new identification (main key visual, lineups, premiere screen etc). Everything had to fit the N channels family. The main goal was to achieve smooth motion based on popular movie motives. After research we wrote the mini scenario for 35 sec spot. Then we did a lot of storyboards and moodboards to define visual line, and after that we went for more detailed HD resolution stills. We did a couple proposals for every scene of an animation and worked closely with PI on final effect. Whole project took about 7 weeks to complete.

Hey-ho!

Elite Private Banking is our latest interactive project created for Deutsche Bank Poland. It's an on-line multimedia presentation where user can find information about private banking and wide range of services offered by Deutsche Bank. Crafting the visuals and animations we were inspired by paintings and sculptures made by abstractionists (mainly Hans Arp).
