STUDIO AKA have produced a stylized graphic trail and titles sequence for the event which is being held in Vancouver. Commissioned by the BBC, through Red Bee Media, the brief from RKCR/Y&R to Director Marc Craste was to make a film based around a legendary quest, whereby an Inuit hero has to retrieve a spiritual stone that has been taken by a giant Bear from a mystical totem. In the process of his mission the hero draws on his skills in a series of challenging and physically brutal Olympic style sports to recover the precious ice locked stone, thus restoring light and peace to his dark and troubled world.

The carefully crafted backgrounds are based on designs by Jon Klassen (of Coraline fame) setting the journey within a stark and imposing black and white world.
