Dutch motion Director&Designer Menno Fokma launched an amazing new reel; compilation of past projects … much of which were completed at, and in co-operation with, the always-amazing Onesize. Menno’s role varied from (co-)direction to (post) production, but mostly art direction. Studio Takt did an outstanding job with the sounddesign.
Plenty of beautiful work to see on Menno’s site: www.mennofokma.nl

Inspired by the 17th-century ‘The Book of Five Rings‘ whereby the undefeated samurai Miyamoto Musashi outlines his philosophy for success in battle and in life, Sean Capone’s quintet of films transforms this concept into an intricately choreographed ballet of rhythmic motion. Fashion, like martial arts, appears in a continuous flow that is both elegant and effortless.
