Eidgenössisches Schwing- und Älplerfest Pratteln im Baselbiet 2022

Communication and graphic agency HERR HESS created a new oak leaf logo for Schwingfest 2022.

A film was commissioned, to illustrate the leaf’s symbolic significance, for which I was invited to create and animate a 3D oak leaf, and to take responsibility for the grade and compositing

Bringing the Story of a Logo to Life

The logo creates a link between the host region and the sport of wrestling – a symbol that embodies tradition, strength and consistency in its stylised implementation. The logo has its roots in a place of national importance, the oak grove at Wildenstein Castle above Bubendorf.

The leaf was modeled and animated in 3D, then carefully composited into the footage.

Image Correction

Image correction and grading was the next task after creating the 3D animation.

A lot of detailed frame-by-frame correction work was necessary to bring out the best of the footage and many grey clouds had to be replaced with idyllic blue skies.
