Psycho FilmsRebrand and Animation
2025







Rebrand and animation for Psycho films. Exploring the traditional experimental animation technique of animating with sand, I depict abstract scenes of neurons splitting, growing, and firing signals inside the brain. The inverted image of sand on a light mat creates an x-ray-like glowing image, reminiscent of low quality microscopic imagery. 

Animated and Directed by Nik Arthur
Type design by Eddie Mandell




I used a projector to help guide my sand placement, I liked the look of the additional colour, and ultimately worked projected colour into the final animation.
