Ordinary Folk

2024, you were… quite something. A year of twists and turns, challenges and growth, for both us and the industry. As we look back, we’re grateful for every project we poured our hearts into, every memory we made, the highs, the lows, the people who joined us and moved on, the trust of incredible clients, the talented freelancers who collaborated with us, and the passion projects that finally came to life. Thank you, 2024. But it’s time to move forward. It’s not you, it’s us (okay, maybe it’s a little you). Here’s to 2025—we’re ready for what’s next. See ya! #motionflashback Music: Donk Jewel by Clark

Partnering with Missionary, we created a title sequence for their original six-part docuseries, which highlights the stories of men and women who followed the Great Commission around the world. Inspired by the themes of hope and faith, the animation features draping and unfolding light that cuts through darkness, sweeping across diverse landscapes and setting a contemplative tone for the series.

We’re throwing it back to one of our favorite projects—Nouns! It’s hard to believe it’s been two years since we worked on this one. Feeling nostalgic, we wanted to give you a little peek at some behind-the-scenes moments from this colorful project. Check out the full project here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/guDmSswt

Everyone in the studio says that summer is over (though some are in denial), so here is our groovy send-off to a spectacular summer with a roll, hop and graceful land into fall. 🍂🛼 Animation: Manuel Neto Design: Matheus Costa Sound: Arthur Ferraz

Driving with music at night can feel almost magical. The way water drops slide across the window, the blurred reflections dancing on wet pavement, the glow of passing streetlights. This feeling, this interplay of light and colour, became the essence of our project. With the help of the talented Justin Burks and the use of abstraction and simple shapes, “Nightdrive" was born. An experimental piece that captures the mood of a nighttime drive, blending light and color with Ambrose Yu’s rendition of Thom Yorke’s "Dawn Chorus." Creative Direction: Jorge R. Canedo E.

With team members scattered around the world, it’s rare that we all get to work in the same space. This week is one of those special times when we are actually... together. Let the motion happen, ping pong balls fly, Cintiq pens roll, and card games flip. And may the good times be remembered. 🫶✨❤️🔥 Jorge R.

We are thrilled to share that Creation, Equilibrium and Nouns all came home with hardware from the first Collision Awards! Our team had complete creative freedom for all three projects which we used to push ourselves in style and concept. Thank you for recognizing the talented folks on each of these teams, Collision Awards. We’re so proud. And congratulations to all the winners!

What does a fully 3D Ordinary Folk project look and feel like? We had no idea either, so we started with the two shapes. Then mashed our 2d keyframes and transitions with Josh Edward’s masterful 3D tactile materials and lighting. We loved the result of combining what we thought would be apposing forces. 🟠 🟩 Credits CD: Jorge R. Canedo E.

The story of creation starts with the words, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” Collaborating closely with the incredibly talented Allen Laseter of Lasso, we aimed to make a visual poem of this beautiful and most ancient of stories.
