Represented by Tonic DNA in the US, Airplan Studios title sequence for Playing to Survive: von Cramm vs Hitler, a feature documentary streaming on PBS, tells the story of legendary German tennis player Gottfried von Cramm, whose athletic grace and defiance stood in contrast to the Nazi regime’s power in the 1930s. Airplan Studio brought this project to life, blending historical narrative with a personal story of resilience. The brief was to create a sequence that captured von Cramm’s on-court brilliance and the oppression he faced off it — particularly his quiet defiance of Hitler. Balancing historical accuracy with emotion, they used archival footage, tennis choreography, and abstract visuals to evoke the duality of von Cramm’s public heroism and private turmoil. With period-specific imagery and hand-crafted transitions, they mirrored the rising stakes of his personal and professional struggles, creating a dynamic yet restrained visual experience.

Meet Zoé, Elie, Lila, and Yanis, a group of friends united by a single passion: mastering The Art of Being a Rat. A campaign created for Canal+, produced by BOL, directed by Device and brought to life by BETC. Developing the main characters was one of their biggest challenges, steering clear of social class stereotypes. They put a lot of thought into their acting, gestures, voices, slang, clothing and personalities to ensure they felt genuine and relatable. Infusing subtle, adult humor was essential to shaping the characters. Focusing on crafting clever dialogues and assembling a top-notch cast of voice actors. By avoiding childish jokes and worn-out clichés, they ensured the humor was fresh and the characters remained authentic and relatable. For the visual style, Device drew inspiration from contemporary anime influences that truly connect with Gen Z. They made an extensive exploration to fine-tune the style, meticulously crafting every background detail and experimenting with a variety of facial expressions and actions for the characters. The lighting played a big role in this campaign, since it highlights the essence of this lifestyle, whether it’s catching an early morning flight or collecting cups at the end of a festival, these moments truly define what it means to be a rat.
