For the first-of-its-kind four-part series The Foundation of Belleza (beauty), from Sephora, Digitas, and NBCUniversal, bicoastal Union Editorial assembled a team of post-production pros worthy of the show’s subjects: beauty brand owners Babba Rivera, Desiree Verdejo, Carina Chaz, and Adrienne Bailon-Houghton (who also hosts the series). Union’s Daniel Luna served as Supervising Editor, with Nadine Mueller and Eleanor Infante each cutting one episode. Otto Mertins edited the trailers for each episode. Sister post shop Hunter handled Telecine via colorist Carolyn Woods and the contribution of VFX Artist Mannix Rickenbacher. Also at Hunter, Sound Design for the series was done by Milos Zivkovic. The Foundation of Belleza is helmed by award-winning writer, director, and Dominican Republic native Gabriela Ortega and produced in collaboration with NBCUniversal’s Creative Partnerships, Digitas, and creative studio Ventureland. The series began streaming exclusively on Peacock shortly before Thanksgiving.

Boma | Camp Sugar Brand Identity
Rebel Wilson's Directorial debut โThe Debโ premiered as the closing night film at this yearโs Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). Adding a touch of creative flair to the filmโs debut, the team at Boma helped in crafting the brand identity for Wilsonโs production company, Camp Sugar.
โRebel and her team approached us with this adorable character design and a simple question: โCan we make this happen in time for Toronto?โโ shares Jason Cohon. โAs huge fans of animation, and with such a fantastic concept from Josh and Meredith on Rebelโs team, it was an easy โyes!โโ
The :05 identity opens in a serene forest scene featuring a hand-carved wooden sign reading โCamp Sugar.โ As the camera reveals two hands gently holding the sign, a little girl playfully peeks from behind, inviting the audience into the world of Camp Sugar. Boma was tasked with designing and animating the 3D environment and character, delivering a fully rendered introduction that will serve as a long-lasting signature for Rebel Wilsonโs films for years to come.
โWe had so much fun making this and hope to be able to do many more unique versions for all of Camp Sugarโs films.โ
Based in Los Angeles, Boma was created to fill a need for quicker turnarounds and tighter budgets while maintaining quality at the highest creative level.ย With a fully remote pipeline, global partnership across three continents and a team of senior creative talent, Boma is equipped to scale projects rapidly, regardless of budget or timeline constraints.
