Skillshare
Spark + Fire Podcast
In 2021 and exclusive partnership with WaitWhat, Skillshare launched the Spark & Fire podcast about creativity and innovation. Slanted Studios x Mean Flow partnered with the Skillshare team for a series of creative pep talk test videos. Journalist and author, Susan Orlean, as well as filmmakers Kemp Powers and Rian Johnson, prerecorded videos with words of encouragement and creative process insights for us to design and animate a visual language around.
We delivered a 60 and 30 for each speaker. The 30’s are featured here with Kemp Powers above to kick things off.
