The Ronin for DK

During my recent one month stay in New York I directed the Webbys Gala Intro Sequence for Digital Kitchen. As part of a larger package completed by DK for the Webbys awards show, this is the final “Director’s Cut” version complete with Hecq soundtrack. Shot over a day around Manhattan and Brooklyn with a low key crew the sequence was then edited by myself in New York before being sent to DK’s Chicago office to add the graphics and then sent back to me in London for final grading and editing duties! Many thanks to Dave Skaff, Abbe Daniel and Rama Allen for giving me the freedom to see through my vision on this project!

Credits: Rob Chiu, Rama Allen, Hecq, Gene Park, Frank Donnangelo, Anthony Vitagliano, Nick Campbell, Jason Esser, Peter Kallstrom, Mike Alfini, Erica Rangel, Abbe Daniel, Andrea Biderman, Josh Hartsoe, Julie Rutigliano, Chris Caiati.

Hey Rob,

Great work, once again :-)! Nice concept with strong visuals and personally thought the use of Helvetica was apt with NYC
