Coachtopia: NFC Chip Animation

April 20, 2023 by Jack in 0 Comments

Some innovations are game-changers, but only if people know how to use them. That’s where we came in. As part of our ongoing collaboration with Coachtopia, we had the rare opportunity to bring one of their most futuristic innovations to life—an NFC chip embedded in every Coachtopia product. This tiny piece of tech is a gateway into Coachtopia’s circular fashion movement. Coachtopia’s NFC chip serves as a digital passport for every product, allowing users to track its entire lifecycle. In the future, it will reveal the full journey of each item—where it’s been, how it’s been remade, and even the hands it’s passed through. But there was just one problem: most people have no idea what an NFC chip is, or how to activate it. That’s where we came in. The Challenge: Making NFC Tech Simple & Fun We needed to create something that wasn’t just a tutorial, but an experience—an engaging, easy-to-digest, hand-drawn animated film that would make learning about Coachtopia’s NFC chip effortless and entertaining. This wasn’t a generic explainer video. It had to feel alive, bursting with Coachtopia’s personality. It had to be fun, vibrant, and playful while ensuring users clearly understood how to tap into their […]

Washington Commanders: Introducing Major Tuddy

January 1, 2023 by Jack in 0 Comments

Our team at Riot NYC is thrilled to announce our latest collaboration with the Washington Commanders, marking a significant step in their historic rebrand with the introduction of their new and first-ever mascot, Major Tuddy. The film, which was created to introduce Major Tuddy to fans on social media, was also played at FedEx Field, and made a big impact on both small screens and stadium-sized displays. Working with the Washington Commanders, we brought Major Tuddy to life in the green screen clips and combined it with footage from the Commanders archives to create a compelling story. Major Tuddy’s character pays homage to the nickname “The Hogs” given to a the Washington Redskins most famous offensive line that were responsible for Washington Redskins Super Bowl wins in the ’80s and ’90s. We also included scenes of the Hogettes, fans known for their wild outfits and pig snout masks. With a mix of humor, player interactions, exciting visuals, and references to Washington Commanders history, we created a high-energy film that was shared on all the Commanders social media channels and received widespread coverage in media outlets. Stay tuned for our next project, “Making The Mascot,” a behind-the-scenes look at the creation […]
