We asked Beat to share an image of an object dear to their company. Here's what we got:
"So what popped into my head was the first MACINTOSH CLASSIC we got at my home in Switzerland, which opened the world of computer-generated visuals to me. We still have it at the office in NYC, but it doesn't work anymore."

"I like a good metaphor, and sometimes use mycorrhizal fungi to describe residence's philosophy of non-competitive cooperative sharing.
So, here's a mushroom!"
At the heart of every studio, every production company, and every creative enterprise, there is a founder. A dauntless entrepreneur who carved their own path and beat the odds. My name is Joel Pilger, and I like to call this type of courageous human, a Fabulist.
On Season 01 of The Fabulist, we heard the stories that the journey is hardly ever a straight line.
In Season 02, we continue the journey.

Animation… broadcast design… motion graphics… mograph… motion design…
Looking back over the past 30 years, our field has exploded, regardless of what you call it.
In this veritable tour de force, I’m joined by futurists John LePore (formerly of Perception NYC) and Ryan Summers (IF, DK, Spillt) who argue convincingly that we are just getting started.
Hold on for the ride as we lift the veil, break down walls, and help you make sense of our rapidly evolving industry.
It’s the end of the beginning for motion design, folks.
And that’s a very, very good thing…
So put on your shades, because the future is super bright.
