With all the flair, surround-sound, and visual effects of a big-budget thriller-drama, this title sequence introduces the guests and speakers of Holland’s Playgrounds Festival, an annual event which brings together the finest creative minds from around the world.

A series of stills depicting two hardened thugs in a bare-knuckle scrap, are rendered in three dimensions against a bleak, urban backdrop. With meticulous sound design bouncing through the speakers, designers Onesize created a metaphor of the creative process which too, often presents an internal battle of wills. As high impact meets slow motion for heightened drama, this sequence mesmerizes from start to finish.
