For FactSet’s Focus event, we were hired us to put together an opening video to introduce their new CEO and lead into his first presentation. Building off of text written by Frames Matter, we came up with a racecar metaphor to communicate the script’s ideas and kick off the CEO’s presentation with a burst of energy.

For America's 250th anniversary, 8th Frame was hired for a projection mapping project by the New York Public Library.  The client was looking for something very simple and elegant: just the text of the Declaration of Independence handwritten by Thomas Jefferson unanimated.  So we built the projected document by cutting together pieces of his handwriting, cleaning and restoring at times individual letters.  The projection played throughout the night, running for a week surrounding July 4th.

During the development process, we also created some quick conceptual content that were mainly just playful ideas we were messing around with.  We didn't ultimately use them, but they were good opportunities for us to test out some fun visuals.

NFT platform OneOf partnered with the Grammy’s to release a series of NFTs for the 64th & 65th Annual Grammy Awards. 8th Frame was hired to come up with the creative and develop the animations. We came up with a concept where the trophy would switch between “radio stations” and with each switch, we would fundamentally rethink the trophy’s appearance and environment.

Additionally we created a short social promo and free giveaway NFT tickets for anyone attending the Grammys.

Tilt, a live streaming platform for musicians, asked 8th Frame to create some holding loops that could play while audiences waited for a live stream to start. The request was that the videos should loop and not be too aggressive. So we developed two hypnotic abstract loops in both an abstract colored space, and 3D environments, almost as if they were little surreal centerpieces someone would have in the house.

When OneOf expanded their library to include sports NFTs they contracted 8th Frame to develop a line of custom NFTs to commemorate the launch. The NFTs had to be modular so that they could be randomly mixed and matched between sports icon, colors, angle, additional design elements, etc and look good and consistent across any combo. With this approach we were able to generate 10,000 completely unique NFTs.

For the American Geophysical Union’s Conference, we created five opening videos, each tailored to the theme of each day of the event. Day 1 - Science is Society, Day 2 - Solution Science, Day 3 - Anthropocene, Day 4 - Diversity, Equity & Inclusivity, Day 5 - Community Science.

Internally, our favorite of the five, featured here at left, was the abstract narrative we developed for Day 3 (Anthropocene) which visualizes the tension between humankind and its impact on nature.

We did two projects for Social Chorus in 2021. The first a video showing off the latest capabilities of their new messaging platform, the second a series of opening videos for their Attune events. For those, we built off their existing Attune brand look with simple 2D “resonance” shapes and reconceived of them in 3D, taking the look into a really exciting new direction without straying from the brand identity.
