Wild Rivers “From The Sidelines” – Live in New York
October 24, 2021 in Long-form, 2021, Directed, Edited, Events, Music, Produced, Sound

Towards the end of the global COVID pandemic we took on the challenge of producing a global live-streaming event for the virtual experiences platform Moment House with Canadian folk band Wild Rivers. Filmed live at Le Poisson Rouge in our creative agency home of NYC we embraced the challenge to shoot and edit the entire intimate gig with a small grassroots team.   We shot everything for this live-streaming gig and edited everything together to create a long-form content experience for existing fans and new listeners. The wider angles were shot using the venue’s own cameras to help us make the most of the stage, the audience, and most importantly the artists. We mixed these cameras with two RED Komodo’s on gimbals for an all encompassing visual story of this amazing show. We put together a full content package for the team including a full 1 hour 30 min edit, trailer, sizzle, intros, and more. For those of you that have the password, you can watch the Wild Rivers full live stream in the player above. For everyone else, enjoy the visuals from the sizzle reel and our image gallery below.

Coach: CFDA Sizzle
October 7, 2021 in Coach, 2021, Color, Creative, Edited, FX, Motion, Produced, Sizzles

Adding to our ever-growing collection of brand sizzle reels that we’ve created over the years is our Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) reel in collaboration with our friends at Coach. As part of an award application for British fashion designer and Executive Creative Director for Coach Stuart Vevers, in association with the CFDA this sizzle reel was a super fun project to work on creatively. We dedicated our time getting to know Stuart throughout this project and discovered how he truly wanted to represent himself as a nominee to the CFDA through this sizzle reel. It was an honor that our creative agency could help visually represent him. With a clear direction set and assets provided, we had tons of fun editing the high-energy clips while also crafting unique compositions to help tell Stuart’s story.

Wardrobe: App Intro

With almost 40,000 new apps released every month, we had to make sure the new Wardrobe app which allows its users to exchange and borrow high-fashion clothing would stand out from the crowd. The introduction to the app is the front door for the person using it, so we went above and beyond with this video, welcoming everyone to it in the coolest way possible. Taking a bank of awesome content from the team including clips of real users of the app, we had fun playing around with it all in very unique ways. Our creative agency goes the extra mile as always, we took the time to hand-cut real pieces of paper, filmed on a green screen, and then added stop motion to achieve an old-school and hyped look and feel. We ran assets through one of our many vintage video cameras to add true and unique VHS effects, created custom motion graphics for the logo and text moments, and composed mixed media animation layers and textures to help bring fresh, new, and unique vibes to each frame. We also chopped and mashed together some of the wildest and coolest imagery combinations, including a buffering effect called “data moshing” […]

Lexus & WSJ: Leadership Session w/ Dylan Marron

Giving a masterclass on empathy, podcaster Dylan Marron in collaboration with Lexus and WSJ Custom Content sat in front of the RIOT cameras in NYC during the pandemic. Dylan’s “Conversations with People Who Hate Me” podcast and social experiment features his conversations with people who have written negative comments to him online in the past. The experience from the shows and the conversations that followed gave Dylan a bank of knowledge on vulnerability, difficult conversations, and empathy. We shot, edited, and produced this long-form instructional class that dives into deep philosophical layers surrounding negative human interactions and delivers a light and positive visual experience for the viewer. The story is broken down into chapters with a mixture of “to camera” discussion, motion graphics, quirky custom hand-drawn animations and a multitude of b-roll that was shot in different locations throughout. Our leadership session is one of the rare longer-form pieces of content in the RIOT catalog and we’re super proud of this creation. We’re excited about future collaborations where we get to test ourselves in the longer form visual content space further.
