Daresay Films is an indie production company making work about the messy and poetic nature of the human experience. I used frame by frame animation with a painterly style to underscore these qualities.
I also created an animated logo for use on the Daresay website and other branding materials. The Daresay brand umbrellas a wide scope of productions – from dance films and narrative features to live performance – so I designed multiple logo treatments to allow flexibility for a range of contexts.
