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.div.overlay { width:1040px; height:508px; } #imgplay { margin:48px 0px 0px 190px; } #player { background:no-repeat url('/videos/news/2010/february/olympic.jpg') top center; } #splash, #player, #player embed, #player object { width:560px; height:260px; }Click to Play
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.
