JoyConf
Storyblok
We created the motion visuals and animated branding for Storyblok's inaugural JoyConf event, a groundbreaking conference bringing together developers and marketers across Amsterdam, New York, and Los Angeles.

Our mission was to capture the essence of JoyConf: transforming content into connection. We brought this vision to life through fluid, colorful animations that embody the spirit of collaboration and put the 'joy' in JoyConf. To create a fully immersive experience, we also composed custom music and ambient soundscapes that drew visitors deeper into the space.

Visual Identity
Our involvement encompassed the entire motion design ecosystem of JoyConf. We developed a complete suite of animated assets that maintained visual consistency while bringing dynamic energy to every touchpoint of the conference experience. From speaker introduction stings that gave each presenter their moment in the spotlight, to carefully choreographed waiting screens that kept energy high during transitions, every motion element was designed to reinforce the conference's core message of connection and collaboration.

Working in close partnership with Wildsmith Productions, we provided consultation on the lighting design to ensure seamless integration between our digital motion graphics and the physical event space.
Putting the 'joy' in JoyConf
The centerpiece of our motion design work for JoyConf was an immersive intro video that served as the conference's energetic opening statement. We crafted a visual experience designed to burst with vibrant color and infectious energy, embodying the revolutionary spirit of both JoyConf and Storyblok's innovative approach to content management.

By reimagining familiar UI elements and placing them within organic, natural environments, we created a unique visual language that bridges the digital and physical worlds. Rich textures and heightened colors transform technical interfaces into living, breathing elements that dance across the screen, turning the typically rigid world of software into something fluid, approachable, and genuinely joyful.
The motion branding system we developed for JoyConf became the visual heartbeat of the event, pulsing with energy across every screen and surface. Our design philosophy centered on creating motion that felt both sophisticated and spontaneous – professional enough for developers and marketers alike, yet playful enough to embody the 'joy' at the heart of the conference name.
We worked closely with the Storyblok team from start to finish, from scripting and visual development to stage production.
