BEHIND THE LENS - INSIDE THE STORY
In 2016 Panasonic released a revolutionary camera called the GH5. Thousands of filmmakers, hobbyist, prosumers, and families utilized the powerful video capabilities to transform the way they captured their films, vlogs, memories, and videos. CRFTSHO fell in love with the camera as it added tremendous benefit to our arsenal of story tools. We began sharing our experiences with Panasonic’s GH5 on YouTube in an educational vlog format.



As we prepared for a particularly challenging shoot we decided to test the GH5 image quality against that of our RED cameras. The results were outstanding. The video landed online went viral (within the filmmaking community). This caught the attention of Panasonic’s Director of Marketing. He reached out to us and several NDA’s later we were commissioned to create a video showcasing upcoming firmware which would again change the landscape of filmmaking.
The 2.0 version of their firmware would allow users to film on anamorphic lenses in an impressive 6K high-resolution format. We knew immediately that a simple camera test would NOT tell the real story behind this remarkable innovation from Panasonic. So we approached the concept from a pure filmmaking standpoint; we crafted a narrative science fiction, adventure film called “Heirloom”.
Operating within the budget while keeping production values as cinematic as possible became quite a challenge as we did not just want to settle for a single location – the script and story needed Indiana Jones meets Mad Max style adventure, which meant it needed extremely unique locations. Luckily, the state of Alabama has some of the most diverse and unique locales for filming. We crawled through dusty caves carrying a lens worth $70,000. We filmed in the auburn tinted, rust covered home of tetanus. We borrowed time a set originally built for Tim Burton’s “Big Fish”. We made an 8-minute epic.

The Client
TGI Friday’s is a restaurant chain with locations in multiple cities across the United States. They serve an assortment of American food and drinks from burger to steak and beers to cocktails.
The Problem
TGI Friday's wanted something that would resonate with their Bar Heritage. They were searching for something that would not only increase brand awareness through humorous content but also be culturally-relevant and interactive. They introduced the idea of a Elf on the Shelf like campaign, officially named “The Shaker on the Bar”. The concept was there but it lacked micro content ideas and production.
The Solution
We wanted to take an existing idea to a new level with fresh insight, perspective, and original content. Our team created multiple stop-motion videos that incorporated a “Holiday Relief” theme including being single, creating new traditions, interacting with family, and meeting up with friends around the holiday season. These videos were posted to Twitter and Instagram stories.

Positioned right outside the front hall of SXSW, the McDonald’s Loft showcased the V-Artist experience and ran for the duration of the show.
“People lined up to participate. Their amazing work resulted in a lot of press about the Happy Meal VR experience. The number of articles that came out of it, the positive sentiment, and the social sharing tweets were great. It was rated one of the top experiences at South by Southwest.”
– DeLu Jackson, McDonald’s Vice President Global Digital

Participants have access to several different types of creative tools, a paintball shooter, a laser-guided color etcher and a paintbrush that allows you to paint in 3D space in front of you. Along with these awesome tools, you have a palette controller, giving you access to a wide range of colors to have fun with.


Real-Time Social Sharing
How does a person share their VR experience with their friends? Groove Jones integrated components of our “Groove Tech” platform that allows participants to take photos of what they are doing in VR and we sync them up with cameras that are filming them in real-time. Once they take off the headsets, participants can walk over to the kiosks and can share them on their own social channels.

Back in the day, before the on-line shopping, trading had been a physical experience. It was based on relations and trust. This trust had been weakened when more and more unfair sellers started to use the Internet to scam buyers. But thanks to the blockchain technology this problem can soon be dealt with. That’s because it evaluates the participants’ transactions and previous activities related to buying and selling. That’s the power of the blockchain technology right in your fingertips!

The Brand Challenge:Shentel, headquartered in Edinburg, Virginia, is a provider of phone, Internet and cable services to rural communities. Recently, they have made acquisitions of two cable companies in southern Virginia and West Virginia. Research showed that consumers in the acquired markets were very skeptical of Shentel staying long term. There had been a track record of companies entering their market, only to exit very quickly.The Solution:We created a new brand strategy for Shentel that included a Vision Statement, Mission Statement, Positioning Statement and Brand Promise. The Brand Promise was “Making Deeper Connections.” Deeper connections with the customers and deeper connections with the communities that they serve. The expression of the Brand Promise, which is used in marketing communications, is “Always Connected to You.”As a “symbol of re-evaluation,” we contemporized the brand logo.The new logo conveys energy and connectivity via the multi-colored lines moving in tandem (representing Shentel, the communities and the customers). The orange and gold colors reinforce the genuine and reliable brandpersonality traits. The slate blue represents strength of the brand.

Location intelligence platforms often feel overwhelming in practice, so Cuebiq turned to Rule29 to tell their story. We produced a wide variety of materials ranging from their website, presentations, environmental pieces and more. In addition, we created a powerful and intuitive UX/UI design for their SaaS platform, designed to present high-level data analyses that could be easily understood and evaluated, no matter an individual’s technical skills. 
Along with the updated platform design, we had fun creating a comic book for the Cuebiq sales team that broke down the value proposition of their Clara product and additionally served as a memorable leave-behind piece. Working for the largest location intelligence database in the United States and their vibrant brand was a fantastic experience.

VIEW THE SITEINTRODUCTION
Mercado Little Spain in the newest venture from renowned chef, entrepreneur, and philanthropist José Andrés, and his first ever in CMYK’s hometown of New York City. Andrés has restaurants all across the globe and is well-known for his charitable work throughout Latin America, Africa, and the United States, and so we made sure to provide him with our warmest of welcomes—that is, a beautifully designed website, of course! Comprised of more than 35,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space in the newly constructed Hudson Yards neighborhood of Manhattan, Mercado Little Spain is a food hall unlike any other, with numerous restaurants, bars, and a sprawling marketplace that all focus on the unique culinary history of Spain, jamón and all.
WHAT WE DID
Andrés’ ThinkFoodGroup came to us with a massive amount of design collateral, including unique logos and brand guidelines for each individual restaurant and bar, stylized design elements reminiscent of Moorish tile, and fonts and typeface, and asked us to coalesce these varied pieces into an approachable and beautiful whole. Partnering with the fabulous team at BentoBox—a new content management system that specializes in restaurant websites and content—CMYK took these patterns, signs, and colors and used them to evoke the style and passion Andrés’ project, so that the digital home for Mercado Little Spain truly becomes an extension of its physical space.Realizing that the website would also serve as a visitors’ guide for the marketplace, we also designed and developed a fully interactive map for people to both plan their trips from home and guide themselves within the hall using their mobile devices. And finally, as with all our web projects, we also made a point of designing and developing in full compliance with ADA rules and regulations, so that the site is user-friendly and accessible to all.
