Santa Monica, CA (May 18, 2000) Belief, a leading broadcast design and production studio, announces collaboration with eleven other motion graphics design studios to create "Untitled: Darkness" - a progressive design project focused on the theme of "darkness." In April, Belief sent out a Super-8 camera and a brief list of guidelines to five selected design firms who then selected another six companies to participate. The film was then returned to Belief for processing and redistributed to different design companies for compositing. Seven sound designers and composers then added music mixes, scored content and composed original tracks for this endeavor.

The final version of "Untitled: Darkness" was sequenced together by Belief and will screen at this year¹s PROMAX & BDA convention and awards in New Orleans from June 14 - 17, 2000 in Booth 460 (The White Room Experience, next to the Belief DJ lounge). Video copies of "Untitled: Darkness" will also be available at the PROMAX & BDA Resource Center with proceeds going to the PROMAX & BDA Foundation to establish a scholarship fund for design students.

"We wanted to shake up this years awards and inspire a series of special projects for future BDA get-togethers. We started with the idea of creating a ŒSlamdance¹ styled showcase event and have arrived at an experimental project which was enthusiastically endorsed by PROMAX & BDA. This project will inaugurate their student scholarship program," said Eric Saks, Project Producer,

"Untitled: Darkness" was sanctioned and sponsored by PROMAX & BDA. Showcase sponsors include Media 100, Belief, Silicon Graphics, Director¹s Site DVD Authoring and others.
