Not to Scale directing collective Savants (aka Rocco Pezzella, Marco Galmacci, and Francesco Castellani) helped the 1.4 Awards celebrate short form directors at the Barbican London on May 1st with this cheeky (and puffy) open.

Savants: “We had a blast designing and animating the opening title sequence and the visual idents for this year’s 1.4 Awards. Our concept was to create a unique language from the interaction of oniric figurative elements that coexist with abstract vector shapes and organic hand-drawn marks.

“We started by creating the titles and adapted these assets to create all the visuals and props necessary for the festival. The audio is key to generate a sense of belonging to the images and to have a final piece that would work perfectly as an art installation.”
