FutureProof '26 Opening Titles
-
A joyous celebration of motion design – you can tell Lucia and Brianna put a huge amount of effort (and hard work!) into their opener for FutureProof 2026. What I enjoyed most was how tightly the animation was woven to the music, and how much character they brought to something as simple as folded paper. A masterful effort!

Hayden showcased an impressive range of skills in this Seiko Sport spot. The mix of techniques – all executed beautifully – comes together through a sleek edit that really caught my eye. Paired with a distinctive art direction, the piece stands out and highlights Hayden’s strong design sensibility alongside the animation. Great work!
