BIEN

Journey to Greatness behind the scenes featuring our athletes: Felix, Miles, Scarlet, and Sora. As a team, we did extensive research to ensure that we authentically portrayed our athletes and their athletic movements. Our disability consultant, David Jeffers of Quadriphonic, helped us specifically with Scarlet, our para-swimmer. #celanimation #2d #celfx #animation #characterdesign #inclusivemotiondesign #inmode

We had the challenge of creating one spot for two brands: Instagram and Facebook. To create both spots on the same timeline, we created a new process and After Effects toolkit. We had so much fun partnering with Meta and DEPT® on this project. #celanimation #2d #3d #celfx #animation #colorpalette #aftereffects

We were thrilled to collaborate with the DEPT creative team to deliver this animation for Meta. This story takes you through the years of training for an athlete to prepare for the games and how their inspirational journeys inspire the next generation.

B-Girls & B-Boys from all over the world will be representing their countries for the first time ever in the Paris 2024 Olympics. We'll be rooting for all the breakers but have a soft spot for Manizha Talash who is part of the IOC Reugee Team. She's originally from Kabul, Afghanistan. Good luck, Manizha!

Our team has been training hard and we're gunning for Gold this year! New sports reel —

Olympic & Paralympic fever is here. To celebrate, we've got something epic to share in the next coming days. Here's a sneak peak frame!

Will you be watching the swimming events at the Paris Olympic and Paralympic games? Olympic swimming starts July 27 and Paralympic swimming starts August 29.

Will Simone, Jade, Suni, Jordan and Hezly dominate this year? "Gymnastics has a long history on the Olympic program as the sport was introduced to its first Games in 1896, and has been included in every iteration since. Women began competing at the Olympic level at the 1928 Amsterdam Games. Japan dominated the sport in the 1960s and 70s, but in the decades that followed it was the U.S., Romania, Russia and China that took center stage. In Paris, expect Great Britain, Brazil and Japan to be medal contenders as well. The U.S. women won silver in the team event at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Before Tokyo, the U.S. had taken home the gold medal at the 2012 and 2016 Games. American Suni Lee won the women’s all-around competition in Tokyo. Gymnastics will take place at the 2024 Paris Olympics between July 27th - August 5th." - Excerpt from NBColympics.com

Team BIEN is excited to watch skateboarding at The Olympics this year. Check it out starting July 27! Who will take the men's and women's gold? Japan is the heavyweight to beat...

Curious about inclusive character development? Here's a master class, in just one frame. Look closely at the variety of nose shapes depicted in these illos. Each one is unique, showcasing true diversity. This diversity is not limited to just noses; it extends to head shapes, cheekbones, and jawlines as well. By incorporating these distinct features into on-screen representation, you can get a more authentic and inclusive portrayal of people is achieved. Consider the intricate details of eye shapes, as they play a crucial role in the creation of genuine diversity on screen. Different eye shapes can also convey various emotions and characteristics, adding depth and richness to characters. Research has shown that viewers respond positively to diverse representations in media, as it allows them to see themselves reflected on screen. This happens all the time in live action content. Animation - not so much. Let's embrace and celebrate these differences. That's how we can create more authentic and inclusive representation that resonates with a wider audience.
