Ben Myers

Winnipeg. Screens people stare at for a while. Brands you can stand inside. The occasional wall that talks back.

Design and entertainment work over about twenty years. Film UI, a brewery and taproom, interactive stuff, studio leadership. A short list.

Demo reel

A demo reel of the AI video work. I direct it and cut it. The music is mine.

About a minute. Sound on.

Blatant Faces

Nuit Blanche booth from Blatant Space. People showed up, messed around, and faces landed on the wall in real time. Crowded, a bit silly, and closer to a room that reacts than most of my other work.

Nonsuch Brewing

Co-founded with a few dear friends. We directed the brand and how the taproom felt when you walked in. Packaging, glassware, the room itself. The Rain Room is the one with the ceiling that reads like weather.

Brand · venues

Robin

Co-founder. I own brand and campaign creative across partner venues. Decks, social, templates. So a market can stay on-brand without a designer in the building. We test variants against what guests actually do.

Pre-construction films

Films of houses that aren't built yet, sitting on their real lots. For realtors and builders. Titles, end card, motion graphics. Not a slideshow of renders.
