Brief

A 90-second brand film celebrating the evolution of Air Max cushioning technology. Had to feel like a documentary crossed with a music video — reverent to the engineering but electric in energy.

Approach

Macro photography of sole units was composited with 3D renders of air bubble dynamics. Used Blender's fluid simulation to create abstract "air" motifs. The final edit syncs every cut to a custom Kaytranada beat.

Tools

Brief

Design a 30-second conference opener that embodies "design as play." It needed to transition from a single cursor into a collaborative canvas of thousands, reflecting Figma's multiplayer ethos.

Approach

Simulated 2,400 cursors with unique personalities using a custom After Effects expression library. Each cursor has its own velocity curve and color. The scene builds from one to many, ending in the Config wordmark drawn by all cursors simultaneously.

Tools

Brief

A deeply personal track about distance and connection. The label wanted something that felt like viewing Earth from orbit — intimate yet vast, grounded yet weightless.

Approach

Combined satellite imagery with hand-drawn rotoscoped figures. Shot on 16mm, then degraded the footage through analog processing before compositing with Nuke. The degradation mirrors the track's theme of signal loss across distances.
