Press Play:
Can We Talk
About This?

Actor Jordan Carlos hosts a series of panel discussions with celebrities and thought leaders to explore the issues and themes surrounding a new documentary film each month. This campaign uses the symbol of the footnote (an asterisk) as the concept to represent what the show is about, while also communicating the age of the movies through the homogenous imagery and animation of the cassette holes in a VHS tape.
    Role – Design & Animation
    Art Direction – Ed Benitez
Since Can We Talk About This was a success, we were tasked to make an umbrella brand based off a similar vibe, color palette, and animation style. This brand would be utilized for a broader variety of shows that provide commentary on old movies and television programs.
Below are the animatics showing the three directions for the client.
