Fast Company recently released its picks for the most creative people in business. From Apple’s Senior Vice President of Industrial Design, Jonathan Ive to multimedia icon Tyra Banks, the list details how the individual’s creativity and drive have led to their success in a wide array of fields.
This year, the motion graphics, broadcast design, and vfx industries have someone to be proud of: Karin Fong, of Imaginary Forces. Selected for her diverse portfolio of film titles, commercials, and experience design projects, Karin has garnered numerous accolades for her work, including awards from the D&AD, ADC, One Show, and an Emmy.
One of their recent projects was for Terminator Salvation (shown in the clip above). The piece was entitled “Machine Vision”. In this project, their challenge was to conceptualize how the Terminator robots would see the world. Imaginary Forces broke down the visual spectrum to design Machine Vision, developing the language of these special effects sequences. Using new tools for IF, such as a depth cameras that breaks down footage into data point 3-D imaging, Machine Vision creates a terrifying new take on these killer robots.
Under Karin Fong’s leadership, Imaginary Forces, best known for its innovative movie titles, has expanded into new territory: commercial work for companies such as Microsoft, Pepsi, and Target, and design experiences for architectural spaces like the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the redesigned Lincoln Center. “Our essence is in film-title work,” says Fong. “But it’s through that concentrated effort that we’ve been able to expand our brain trust into multiple mediums.”
Fong is a master of cinematic storytelling in a compact space; her work in The Pink Panther 2 inspired film critic Roger Ebert to recall “the golden age of credits.”
motion congratulates Karin Fong for being selected one of Fast Company’s 100 Most Creative People!
