Last year we worked together with AKU and Andris Feldmanis to create a visual identity and animated film for Bürokratt.

Who is this Bürokratt? In old Estonian mythology, Kratt is a magical creature - a treasure-bearer. In modern times, Bürokratt is "merely" the official AI-based virtual assistant of Estonia.

Honestly, it doesn’t do anything that remarkable. Apart from being a brand new way to interact with the state and its services. Nice!

We would like to thank Alari Orav from AKU for navigating both us and their brand design team through the project and of course Andris for the script.

We've put the project up on our Behance site with extras galore - go check it out.

Who is this Bürokratt? In old Estonian mythology, Kratt is a magical creature - a treasure-bearer. In modern times, Bürokratt is merely the official AI-based virtual assistant of Estonia. It is a totally new way of communicating with your country.

"Colorful shapeshifting animations dance across the screen in an experimental music video for a newly released single by Estonian musician and composer Janek Murd. Created by the design studio Tolm, a collection of floating orbs, speckled discs, and a mishmash of flexible rings follow the melody of “AVA,” a mellow tune dominated by a trumpet and xylophone."

Thank you, Colossal , for taking the time and sharing our music video!

Eelmine neljapäev avaldas Janek Murd oma sel nädalal ilmuvalt uuelt albumilt esimese singli koos videoga, mille kallal Joosep ja Maido kevadel üksjagu aega pusisid. Maido kommentaar kogu protsessile oli järgmine:

"AVA oli üks paras koputamine ja logistamine, mille käigus oli palju avamist, eksimist, õppimist ja õnneks ka leidmist."

Vaadake videot ja äkki leiate ka miskit hingele. Või siis vähemalt kolmeks ja pooleks minutiks tööst ja toimetamisest rahu.

ENG: Janek Murd, with whom we have done a few projects with released the first single from his new album. TOLM was lucky to work on a music video that enabled us to learn and explore new ideas and executions. Watch the video soothe your mind for 3 and a half minutes. Enjoy!

"Freeze! Zoom in. Now... enhance."

Everyone knows that it doesn't work like this.

But what does and what is a more innovative approach in extracting real-time insights from cameras feeds, allowing users to make smarter business decisions is using Fyma.

We teamed up with them to create a film about Molly and how she makes smart business decisions without sacrificing an ounce of her customer's privacy.

Thank you Kärt from Hellsjells for teaming up with us during design phase and Eero Muiste for delivering another great piece of music and sound design. And big high-five to Marko Russiver and everyone from Fyma.ai for trusting us to tell your story.
