Installation
Collider's Andrew van der Westhuyzen worked with director Nabil Elderkin and writer Gregory Stern to produce an animated typographic piece for Times Square NY, Tribeca Film Festival and the Nelson Mandela Foundation.
The project involved creating a number of animated pieces using selected quotes of Nelson Mandela over his lifetime. It was timed to coincide with Mandela’s 95th birthday and was part of the Midnight Moment: A Digital Gallery event.
Enhancing the power of the written word.
The Power of Words was an animated typographic film created by Collider for Times Square NY, Tribeca Film Festival & the Nelson Mandela Foundation and screened at midnight every night for a month in the heart of New York City.
Some of Mandela's most famous quotes were used to create the sequence, which was screened across a dozen digital billboards around Times Square, some 55 storeys high.
