A collection of work exploring one of our most distinctive visual languages.

The reel brings together a selection of photocollage work created across multiple campaigns done with our friends RUN ZËBRA RUN. A true collaboration.

It showcases a visual language we've developed and refined over time, one that adapts to different brands, stories, and formats, always keeping its own character.

The frames are composed from real materials such as photography, graphic material and textures. The layers are then assembled and animated by hand, creating movement that feels palpable, graphic, slick and intentionally imperfect.

The result sits somewhere between editorial design and motion.

Why It Works

Photocollage offers a different approach to motion. Because it's built from photography rather than illustration or 3D, it can incorporate existing campaign assets, product imagery, archival material, or newly commissioned photography into a single visual system.


The flexibility allows for the language to evolve from project to project. Different imagery, textures, and compositions give each film its own identity, while the underlying workflow remains consistent.
