As part of the Brilliant Champions Gallery exhibition “Megacosm”, a solo exhibition by Beau Stanton. We shot this stop motion animation film.

Megacosm denotes a universe of its own as described through Stanton’s unique visual language. The video was accompanied by site specific installations throughout the gallery, showcasing the artist’s full spectrum of multidisciplinary art including oil paintings, sculpture, and printmaking.
Somewhat of a stark contrast to our last animated logo, this stop-motion is yet another paper interpretation of our New York City environment.
In this behind-the-scenes photo, our creative director Jillian Mackintosh animates as Walter Wexley Waggington directs from his chair.
Social Media Video // Client: Jet.com
The Brilliant Champions team animated this fun, social media video for Jet.com. The stop-motion/digital animation hybrid was shot, edited and delivered in one day.
This hand crafted, stop-motion music video based on the art of Mark Warren Jacques was animated primarily using thousands of pieces of paper, paint and pen.
“The narrative of the video is based on the Greek myth of Sisyphus where he was punished for his self-aggrandizing craftiness and deceitfulness by being forced to roll an immense boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll back down; repeating this action for eternity.”
