Nomint
The studio
Nomint is a high-end motion design studio based in Athens, Greece, specialising in commercial motion design.
Christos Lefakis started off by studying architecture in the UK and moved on to motion design because he found it to be a very interesting medium that needed exploration. He feels it is a very interesting medium that is very creative, liberating and rewarding.
Christos Lefakis, one of the owners of the studio talks about the production tools used in creating motion graphics, underlying that the production is all computerised. The concept, he says, might begin from a doodle or a sketch, but it then has to be recreated in the computer.
The following video contains some parts of an interview given to me by Christos Lefakis during November.
Awards
Operating just for two years, Nomint has won several National, European and Global Awards.
Among the awards is the first prize in this year’s European Design Awards in the ‘motion graphics’
category and the first prize in this year’s E-Stings competition.
E-Stings is an annual competition held by the digital channel E4 and communication magazine Creative Review. The participants are asked to create live action or animated videos, maximum 10’’ long, to sandwich between programmes and commercials. This year the first prize was won by the motion-graphics video made by Nomint.
Still frames from the video that won this year’s E-Stings competition. The video was called ‘E4 Monkey’ and it voted first by voters from all over the world out of several hundreds of participants.
