The film showcases contributions from over 100 people ranging from architects, engineers and artists, to sound designers and musicians. Johnny Kelly gave them each a scene to film or illustrate / create and, using flipbook-like persistence of vision, merged these stories into one piece. Involving so many contributors based all over the world, from Patagonia to Pittsburgh to Paris, was a logistical feat for Nexus production team. This approach was a good fit for the project, using Dropbox was the best way to realise a collaboration on this scale. The film highlights a range of techniques from live action (both studio and location), stills photography, 2D animation, 3D animation, illustration, stop motion and even knitting. With so many styles and techniques, Nexus needed to hang the film on a visual framework. Using a series of simple shapes the film guides your eye from start to finish opening with a rectangular blank piece of paper, and finishing with the circular Dropbox syncing icon. - Full Credits: Client / Dropbox: Kristen Spilman Patrick Rowell Sheila Vashee Julie Herendeen Preston Hershorn Agency / 72andSunny: Chief Creative Officer: Glenn Cole Group Creative Director: Matt Murphy Creative Director/Designer: Robert Teague Creative Director/Writer: Claire Morrisey Sr. Writer: Dave Carlson Designer: Nick Marx Sr. Film Producer: Angelo Mazzamuto Sr. Film Producer: Perrin Rausch Film Producer: Emilie Talermo Group Brand Director: Rhea Curry Brand Director: Shannon Reed Brand Coordinator: Zachary Hill Business Affairs Director: Kallie Halbach Sr. Business Affairs Manager: Lara Drew Business Affairs Coordinator: Calli Howard Business Affairs Coordinator: Michelle Fink Co-Head of Strategy/Group Strategy Director: Bryan Smith Strategy Director: Brooke-Lynn Luat Jr. Strategist: Gigi Braybrooks Film Credits: Design/Production Company: Nexus Director: Johnny Kelly Executive Creative Director: Chris OReilly Sr. Producer: Isobel Conroy Production Manager: Lucy Banks Production Manager: Thomas Cullen Studio Director of Photography: Matthew Day Locations Director of Photography: Matthew Fox Project Lead: Elliott Kajdan Project Lead: David Walker Editor (60): David Slade Editor (30): Nick Gartner 3D Animation: Eaton Crous, Joao Monteiro 2D Animation: Tom Bunker, James Hatley Compositing: Bence Varga Compositing: Pete Baxter Post Production: Time Based Arts Compositor: Sheldon Gardner Colorist: Simone Grattarola Music & Sound Design Credits: Human Mix Credits: Formosa Group Mixer: John Bolen, Hermann Thurmann Executive Producer: Lauren Cascio Assistant: Jeff King Lead Contributors: Iain Acton – iainacton.uk Stine Belden Roed – stinestine.no Valerie Berry – valerieberry.com Marc Bouyer – steakollective.net/author/marc/ Nicolas Brantut Dan Burgess – danburgessart.com Nicholas Burrows / Nous Vous – nousvous.eu Tom Bunker – tombunker.tumblr.com Joey Camacho / Raw & Rendered – rawandrendered.com/301-365/ Loan Casanave Ryan Close – ryanjclose.com Isobel Conroy Mark Conroy MatthewCooper – matthewcooperfilm.com Andrea Cuius / Nocte – nocte.co.uk Jack Cunningham – jack-cunningham.tumblr.com Valentina DEfilippo – valentinadefilippo.co.uk Sophie Durston – sophiedurston.co.uk Renaud Futterer / Panoply – panoply.cc Julian Glander – julianglander.com Marcin Ignac / Variablemarcinignac.com Jamie Jones - whoisjamiejones.com Jean Michel Kajdan MichaelKirkham – michaelkirkham.com Jim LeFevre – jimlefevre.com Luigi Mazzamuto McBess – mcbess.com Cian McLoughlin – cianmcloughlin.com Denise Nestor – denisenestorillustration.com Charlotte Quillet – charlottequillet.blogspot.co.uk FlorentRousseau – florentrousseau.prosite.com Joelle Snaith – behance.net/joellesnaith Joe Sparrow – joe-sparrow.tumblr.com KarolisStrautnekias - strautniekas.com Yuki Sugiyura - yukisugiura.co.uk Javier Tomassi – javitommasi.com Emmanuelle Walker – emmanuellewalker.com DuncanWilson / Barber Osgerby – barberosgerby.com Industrial Facility — industrialfacility.com M&E — me-me-me.se
