Birds of Horror and Paper Planes: Creative Branding by Nervo Studio

Nervo is a design and animation studio that has done some incredible motion work, including a very captivating series for Fox Movies Japan for what else but Sci-Fi and Horror screenings. The very dramatic, sometimes violent, swarms of black birds (sometimes transforming into mass of fly-like beads) paired with a grungy backdrop of foggy foreboding landscapes communicate the aesthetic of old Japanese horror. For science fiction Nervo had also created strange 3D environments that combine the minimalism of science labs and parking garages with alien-esque landscapes and almost living fields of grass.

So what has Nervo been up to?

Their most recent motion works include branding packaging for Microsoft’s Zune, a promotional piece for Adobe’s Creative Suite 4, a beautifully illustrated animation for PGI, as well as work for timex:

Of course the latest projects are only as current as October of last year. Can’t wait to see what they develop next. All of their motion work is available in their motion portfolio at http://nervo.tv/ as well as print work.

  1. The work is interesting with interweaving symbolism and the fascination with things that seem important to you. I can see the influence of other art styles in your work and I am curious to know why you use the triangle in your work. respond

  2. Hi Dape, thanks for the comment. While I see what you mean about the repetition of the triangular forms in the work, it is not my own work, but that of Nervo Studio. So unfortunately I cannot offer an answer.
