IAMSTATIC

www.iamstatic.com

IAMSTATIC started in 1999 as an Art and Design collective. Back then a bunch of pals from art school started playing around with design and animation using Flash and After Effects. It was the wild west of motion graphics and programmatic art making and people were known by their dot com names. Needless to say, things have changed since then but their love for this work has grown even greater.

A one stop content shop, IAMSTATIC produces award winning projects for Film and Television, Commercial Advertising and Immersive/Digital Content. As creative problem solvers they collaborate with partners to develop rich and engaging narrative content. They endeavour to bring passion from the initial sketch to the final frame.

 
 
Making some magic while horsing around for RCG. Playful discovery and a wee bit of magic. A look into a world that comes alive after the lights are turned off and the door closed.  Crafted fully in CG, this warm and richly textured world acts like a sleepy backdrop for our wonderful tale. A blend of 3D and 2D, IAS integrated the illustrations /animations into the scenes to feel like the wallpaper had sprung to life. This collaboration with the great folks at FCB Toronto had us chomping at the bit and was one where we were able to hit our stride into making this 30-second film one of our odds-on favourites.  ;) Credits Director: IAMSTATIC Creative Director: Ron Gervais, Dave Greene Production Company: IAS Producer: Cynthia Verona 2D Animation /Illustration: Norma V Toraya 3D Animation: Kalvin Bongdalia, Dave Greene, Ron Gervais Lighting & Rendering: Dave Greene, Steven Hollman Layout: Chris Crozier, Steven Hollman, Dave Greene Modeling: Chris Crozier, Dave Greene, Steven Hollman Compositors: Ron Gervais, Dave Greene, Steven Hollman Storyboard: Megan Bannon Editor: Ron Gervais Music: Apollo Music Client: FCB / RGC
Conference opener for FITC Ideas in Motion. Through the window of typography, we get a glimpse behind the layer that makes up the surface image. Based on the theme "World-building" we created a scene that references selected iconography from Cohen Brothers films as our base.

There is nothing we enjoy more then working on title sequences, especially when it's super dark and moody and ‘Stabby’! So, as you can imagine we were over the moon to be chosen to create the main title sequence for Guillermo Del Toro’s gothic romance CRIMSON PEAK. This project, built entirely in CG, was an exercise in careful pacing and art direction. Like the film, we wanted the titles to drip with detail in every shot with moths leading us through each eerie scene. Working closely with Del Toro and our production team at Topix, we worked 5 full months to craft this project into a piece of design that would flow and compliment the overall tone of the film.
