A first look at the OFFF 2026 Main Titles ❤️‍🔥

Created by PJ Richardson and the team at @laundry_studios, the piece reflects the creative journey itself. The anticipation, the process, and the moment everything comes together.

For the first time, the titles will be projected onto the façade of @dissenyhub as part of The Screen, turning the city into a stage and the experience into something shared.

By warping perception and reimagining the surface itself, the piece invites us to question how we see, build and experience creativity.

Direction, design & animation: PJ Richardson, @alex_liou & @jpierce
Additional animation: Alejandro R. Mejia
Studio: @laundry_studios
Sound design & Music: @cypher.audio
Sound & Music artists: John Black, Joris Van Grunsven & Joseph Sims
Technical support: Alan Ng, Mike Penny & Dave Grewal

📍April 16-18 at @dissenyhub

We recently collaborated once again with our friend @kris_brady_ on a kinetic burst of anime insanity :

ULTRAMEGA KAIJU KLASH!

Drawing from the original comic series “Ultramega” by @jamesharrenart alongside a healthy dose of early nineties anime, I dreamed up KAIJU KLASH! The Ultramega falls crashing back to earth, and compelled by the alien entity within his chest, succumbs to a blood rage, battles two giant kaiju, slicing one in half, disinitegrating the other, and most of the city along with it. It was an insane amount of fun to make and every frame in every shot was lovingly scrutinized.

We had a blast working on this one !

Topstep See Opportunity (Sans VO Mix)

Original music, sound design and mix

Production Company : @helloscholar Directors : @chrs_finn and Will Johnson

Sound By Cypher

Original Music : Joris van Grunsven @krampfhaft
Sound Design / Mix : John Black @johnxblackx

Developed and executed at Scholar, this is a fully integrated creative campaign from the ground up. We crafted the core concepts, visual language, and final films end-to-end. Blending live action, CG, and design-driven storytelling, translating Topstep’s platform and philosophy into cinematic worlds of mountains, monoliths, and cityscapes. Pairing abstract market metaphors with real human performance. From early concept exploration through final execution, every element was designed to work together. A cohesive system built to help Topstep stand apart and its traders climb higher.

Topstep Climb Higher (Sans VO Mix)

Original music, sound design and mix for this campaign centered around Olympic halfpipe skier Alex Ferreira

Production Company : @helloscholar Directors : @chrs_finn & Will Johnson

Sound By Cypher
Original Music : Joris van Grunsven @krampfhaft
Sound Design / Mix : John Black @johnxblackx

Nothing says passion and precision like an Olympian.

Using footage of Alex Ferreira as a base we amplified the slopes in CG with Topstep UI and topped the whole thing off with VO from the man himself, the entire film a capsule of what it takes to climb higher.

A montage of our year of travel, connection and creativity. We put out tape 2 in our @hexagonal_prisms trilogy, started a monthly mix series on @mixcloud, hung out in person in Barcelona @offfest , Antwerp @usbynightfest and LA @myassembly.community and launched our new website ! and we found inspiration everywhere along the way. Thanks to all of our clients, collaborators and friends ! Much more coming in 2026 !

The new site is now live !

For the first time ever Cypher has a proper web presence.

Thanks to @bareis.nicolaus for the elegant design, and thanks to all of our collaborators/clients/friends over the years for the creative and personal connections.
