GEORGE KAMPER + SAUDI ARABIA
June 14, 2022
Traveling to Saudi Arabia with a small motion crew, George Kamper's
shoot adventure included shooting a Saudi military base, the Kingdom Tower, a Riyadh teahouse, modern Riyadh, modern Jeddah, and the old town of Jeddah.
Having worked with this Director and DP team on location around the world on several occasions, it allowed George to seamlessly capture storytelling imagery, in concert with video. The collaborative shoot contrasted the modern with the classical. Embracing Saudi culture, focused on the concepts of respect, partnership, technology, innovation, and friendship.
One of George's strong suits is envisioning the shot and positioning himself in the right place at the right time. Seamlessly adapting - set to set, lighting setup to lighting setup, without disrupting shoot flow - that is its own art form.

✨ Why Custom Illustration Matter ✨ Why icons deserve a second look! Icons are often treated like a checkbox - something to grab from a stock library or pull from an existing UI kit. But when they’re built intentionally, they become one of the most quietly powerful tools in your creative arsenal. Custom icons do more than reinforce a brand. They clarify communication. They guide users. They bring visual consistency to even the most complex projects - across digital, print, packaging, environments, and campaigns. Illustrator James Nelson approaches icon work with that kind of purpose. His sets are clean, strategic, and built to flex—whether they’re solving for user experience, packaging hierarchies, internal comms, or large-scale marketing systems.
✨ Lincoln Durham - 3D Character Design + Animation - Rolling Loud Music Festival ✨ Lincoln Durham created this dynamic sizzle reel showcasing some of the 2D and 3D animations he developed for the Rolling Loud Music Festival across various cities, in collaboration with Zellus. These animations were primarily used for social media promotions and as NFTs to further engage festival fans. The original artwork, provided by an undisclosed artist, served as still illustrations that Lincoln brought to life by adding motion and sound. For the 3D scenes, he sculpted and rigged characters inspired by the 2D illustrations, using them as a foundation to build out a story line based on direction from Zellus. Lincoln’s ability to seamlessly blend 2D and 3D animation, along with his expertise in motion and sound design, brings energy and depth to every project. His work for Rolling Loud is just one example of how he transforms static illustrations into immersive, high-impact visuals. Looking to elevate your next project with dynamic animation?
