Motion design and radio are a surprisingly swell pairing. Salt and caramel, Bill Murray and Kelis, denim and more denim…
Feast your eyes and ears upon the great Today FM/Piranha Bar mashup released this week. Working with creative Aidan Dowling and our old friends Today FM, we have had lots of fun visualising the controlled chaos and absurd anarchy from five of the station’s top presenters.
Carefully sifted clips from live broadcasts act as fuel for collage driven hijinks, boldly bringing the party in your ears to your peepers. And beyond. The deep metaphysical on air musings transmute to sparkling visuals jostling on screen for attention. Butt-shaped produce, dancing toothbrushes, a pyjama-suited horse and a demon behind the wheel are just a fraction of the distinguished cast of characters bringing the station banter to life. At the studio, we’ve been handy with the scissors and tape, taking a decidedly analogue approach to the frenetic animation. Shooting some backgrounds and props and blending with digital snippets and AI imaginings has created a contemporary collage style for a cutting edge station. There’s lots to digest here, so please, dig in. As Maximus Decimus Meridius would say – are you not entertained?
