An event film for Pearson at Microsoft Ignite

Motion design and edit for Pearson's presence at Microsoft's flagship technology conference. The film had to hold a room with sound on, and still make its case silently on a stand screen, so the structure, type and pacing carry the story without a voice.

  • Type carries the argument. Key messages are set as kinetic typography so the film reads on a busy stand without audio.
  • Pace for a loop. Short chapters and a clear rhythm, so a passer-by can join at any point and still get the story.
  • Inside the brand. Pearson's identity, colour and imagery style applied consistently across live footage, graphics and transitions.
