Video Info:
For our senior thesis, we joined forces to create a short animated piece titled Escape*. It follows the journey of a young superhero named Stanley as he performs his daily duties in his clean underwear and beloved red cape.
We’ve been trying to do something story driven for a lonnngg time and our senior project was the perfect opportunity. We knew from the beginning that this was going to be an ambitious project. The thought of animating abstract shapes morphing into more abstract shapes crossed our mind, but we wanted to do something crazy and memorable for our last project as college kids.
After a brainstorming session that comprised of us literally blurting out any word that popped into our heads, we settled on “superhero”. From there, Stanley was born. Well, not literally after. It took some time to capture that adorable, lovable kid. Had we realized earlier that Stanley looked like us, it would’ve made it a whole lot easier just to do a combined self-portrait from the beginning. But when is it ever That easy?
A lot of love and labor went into this project and we really hope you enjoy it. Because despite all the long nights, the disagreements, the amount of caffeine and drive-thru tacos that were consumed, Stanley is our hero and we hope he is yours too.

When a regional division of the United Methodist Church asked us to help explain that planting a new church is not as complicated or “scary” as one might think, we asked a bunch of questions, drew some conclusions, threw in a little humor and playfulness and ultimately informed folks that there are indeed models of church planting that are exciting, successful and yes, even fun to be involved in.

The main titles showcase the staggering growth of Dubai over the past 10 years through time-lapse satellite imagery, and act as a prologue to the event that seeks to celebrate the “small” in a location like Dubai, mostly known for the excess and extravagances.
The titles, together with the event, remind everyone that also small things can have a huge impact and that Dubai’s present grandeur sits on a multitude of tiny grains of sand.
Proudly conceived, designed and directed by METAphrenie in Dubai.
Music by Reiner Erlings.

The new Oslo Airport is expanding. It will be completed in 2017, allowing 28 million passengers to travel to and from the airport every year.
We were asked by Dinamo to make a film visualizing the changes. The model was made by the excellent wearetheartdepartment. The miniature model, which had to be both architectural and animatable, was more than 2 meters long and had hundreds of pieces. It was built using a selection of hard woods to echo the design of the actual airport.
Agency: Dinamo
Production company: 4 ½ and Passion Pictures
Short film produced to conclude a sermon series called “Marriage: Why Bother?” at Port City Community Church–find out more about the series at portcitychurch.org
