In line with RTL's new visual direction I've worked on a fresh clean illustration and animation set for Videoland.

Two very colourful animation routes for a Booking Top 3 Getaway Destinations. With the help of a custom-made system these routes are completely customisable. Titles, animations and (stock) footage can be replaced. Plus there’s a selection of 5 themes to choose from including Summer, Winter, Autumn and Spring. Also created per theme is a library of more then 70 little travel-related animations which can be placed in all of the various sized edits.

De Lamas - Backer in action is a comedy improv show. This years edition in the ziggo dome featured a mystic Peruvian themed set and backstory. These are a couple of visuals that merged with the set accompanying the show. On top of the background seperate elements could be triggered to match the scenes on stage. And at the beginning of the shows a little intro animation welcomed everyone into the story.

We chose to focus on a core idea – ‘inspiring personal progress’. We translated this into a visual system based on continual forward motion combined with a Kubrick inspired single-point perspective. This meticulous approach to camera movements, shot framing and typographical animation meant that all moving elements shared a cohesive look that was unmistakably RTLZ, where it’s business, not as usual.
