Digital Kitchen : HBO Boxing Open

Digital Kitchen : HBO Boxing

“Sweet Science,” a new show package created by New York’s Digital Kitchen for HBO Boxing. “HBO gave us a lot of freedom as to how we wanted to treat this,” says Rama Allen, Creative Director, Digital Kitchen. “HBO did request that we incorporate archival footage of some of boxing’s greats. At the same time, we didn’t want this to degenerate into just another montage, so we deliberately treated the archival footage to both unify the look and to differentiate from the campaign’s overall aesthetic. While the archival footage was in a multitude of different formats, we also shot Super16, Phantom, frame bursts from a still camera, and more, so we were working with all different kinds of cameras and formats from different time periods. It was quite a challenge.”

Rhino! : Re-brands

NY, NY based Rhino launched a new site, new reel and completely rebrands for 2009 …”Nearing a decade in the advertising and entertainment business, the entire team at rhinofx is pleased to announce that the studio is dropping off the f and x and changing its name to Rhino. A year after uniting with Gravity, one of Israel and Canada’s premier media development studios, Rhino has updated its name, identity, and vision to coincide with its dramatic and global evolution in both traditional and non-traditional work across TV, film, web, and mobile screens. While Rhino has always been known for its work in VFX and CG-oriented design and animation, the addition of Gravity’s resources has been a huge complement, adding more design depth and stylistic vision to their creative arsenal, and opening up unique opportunities for a variety of new media ventures, larger-scale pitches and projects, and global campaigns.”
