34th GLAAD Media Awards

The GLAAD Media Awards is an annual event that celebrates the LGBTQ community in the media. It is a 2-night event, happening in Los Angeles and New York, with the full broadcast can be watched on Hulu. I directed the intro film for the 34th event, which is used on-stage during the two live shows, in the show broadcast, and across social media.

“Maybe it’s recency bias, but I do think this year’s show was an amazing moment. It was set up so that the centre stage acted like a magnet pulling in all the imagery to a singular point. The effect was that, no matter where you were sitting in the room, you were looking at exactly the right spot to get the most out of the event”.

The live stage required us to plan for an ultra-wide ratio. We kept the statuette as the central element, and designed the bioluminescent lines emerging from the side screens to meet on the main screen to form the trophy from the ground up.
