Ash Thorp
Known for us by a collaboration done for OFFF 2015 festival, Ash Thorp (Instagram) is an artist and creative director of LOST BOY. He works mainly in motion video industry and leads an educational platform Learn Squared.
"Ash Thorp’s career is a continuous rotation of roles from designer to creative director. He is fueled by a tremendous internal drive to develop his own signature imprint on the industry. His first directorial debut started with the assembly of an international team for his visionaryGhost in the Shell tribute titled Project 2501. Ash then wrote and directed the main title for OFFF Barcelona 2014 alongside his close friend and acclaimed director, Anthony Scott Burns. In 2015, he was requested once again to assemble an international team of designers and create the title sequence for FITC Tokyo, which instantly gained monumental attention, including selection as a Vimeo Staff Pick. Also, in 2015, Ash was contacted by Adobe to create an image for their After Effects software, as well as participate in their Adobe Remix project. Later in 2015, Ash Thorp co-directed with Chris Eyerman from 3AM, “Ares - Our Greatest Adventure,” featuring Neil deGrasse Tyson in a promotional trailer for the feature film “The Martian.”"

Now in its sixth year, FITC Tokyo 2015 consists of presentations from some of the most interesting and engaging digital creators from all around the world. To commemorate FITC Tokyo’s inaugural title sequence we sought to encapsulate the city itself—distilled to graphic form. Aiming to contrast the harmonies of traditional Japanese culture against the backdrop and sensory overload of present-day Tokyo, we meticulously crafted elegant typographic forms to collide with abrasive, overstimulating glitch—giving way to a progressive journey where moments of extreme chaos fold into temporary tranquility.
