Project Description

The Node Fest opening titles captured the chaotic R&D process, following a character whose unraveling state of mind was visualised through a “brain cam.” As their experiments spiralled into madness, they found clarity by returning to the beginning and embracing simplicity—mirroring the creative journey.

Tasked with showcasing speaker names and setting an inspiring tone, Never Sit Still crafted a bold, typography-driven piece designed for the big screen. The story of experimentation was enriched by an original jazz score, adding rhythm to the chaos.

Built through iterative testing, the sequence combined 2D, cel, and 3D animation, blending styles to celebrate the beauty, messiness, and unpredictability of creativity.

The result? Visual jazz.
