What do you get when you fuse 91 years of cinema history with a cosmic ether of light, shadow, space and time and project it all through the camera’s lens? TCM explores the answer in its promotional concept for the network's “31 Days of Oscar.”
To execute its vision, TCM tapped 2C Creative for an expansive graphic toolkit, blending the many things this substance might include – light, stars, bioluminescent fluid – and transporting it into the abstract interior of a classic film projector. Once inside, the experience becomes an otherworldly journey from muse to final masterpiece. 2C created the projector in 3D and added texture to give it a premium vintage feeling and TCM branding, while the interior machinations drew inspiration from art deco forms. Inside, 2C evoked light and authenticity by subtly blending transparency, a projector flicker and grain in the treatment of titles and hero logos.

Boma | Camp Sugar Brand Identity
Rebel Wilson's Directorial debut “The Deb” premiered as the closing night film at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). Adding a touch of creative flair to the film’s debut, the team at Boma helped in crafting the brand identity for Wilson’s production company, Camp Sugar.
“Rebel and her team approached us with this adorable character design and a simple question: ‘Can we make this happen in time for Toronto?’” shares Jason Cohon. “As huge fans of animation, and with such a fantastic concept from Josh and Meredith on Rebel’s team, it was an easy ‘yes!’”
The :05 identity opens in a serene forest scene featuring a hand-carved wooden sign reading “Camp Sugar.” 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 Wilson’s films for years to come.
“We had so much fun making this and hope to be able to do many more unique versions for all of Camp Sugar’s films.”
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. 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.
