Rise of the Ottoman Empire
TED-Ed
In the late 13th century, Osman I established a small principality sandwiched between a crumbling Byzantine Empire and a weakened Sultanate of the Seljuk of Rum, in what is now Turkey. In just a few generations, this territory had outmaneuvered more powerful neighbors to become the vast Ottoman Empire. What enabled its rapid rise? Mostafa Minawi details the early days of the Ottomans.

All Star Weekend
Client:
Nike Basketball
Year:
2014
For the NBA All Star Weekend, NIKE Basketball created a riveting campaign around their "Zoom"basketball shoes and high profile players. The campaign is called "City of Zoom" which is full of highly stylized comic book visual cues from New York City and gorgeous illustrations of the Nike roster of NBAsuperstars.
Kozmonot Animation Studio was approached by R/GA New York to create a teaser film titled "Conquer All Courts". Naturally, we couldn't say no to the chance to work with our good friends in New York on this project.
Collaborating with the R/GA Content Studio team led by Can Misirlioglu, we designed and animated the film in a week. We are very proud to present the results and happy to learn that the teaser also screened on the giant billboard of One Penn Plaza, during the week around the All Star Weekend.
