It started in 2025 as a quiz prototype that ran right on IMDb title and name pages, and in 2026 it moved to IMDb Labs, where IMDb tries out new ideas with fans. How it plays Pick a title, a person or an interest, then race a 45-second clock through 20 questions built from IMDb data: images, videos, quotes and trivia. Interest quizzes turn IMDb’s genres, subgenres and franchises, like Marvel and John Wick, into playable sets. A Daily Kernel quiz gives fans a reason to come back every day. Badges Badges are what keep people playing. You climb five ranks with lifetime points, earn skill badges for streaks and perfect runs, collect badges for finishing sets and exploring interests, and find a hidden soundtrack badge in quizzes that secretly play a film’s real score. Day Streak badges multiply your points when you come back. Each one unlocks with its own full-screen moment.

I worked with a team to build an interconnected journey using our Video Wall, Premium Title Page, and our new Premium Name Pages. I created 8 name pages, each with character specific content, but what really brings this all together is the dynamic trending widget that updates the page rank of each character or “god” every 15 seconds. Using the technology from our current trending widget, users can track each name page execution based on page traffic. It’s a great way to make these experiences more discoverable, while also helping tell the customer’s story of gods competing for our attention. I used the clients art and videos to create a seamless blend between pages.https://rielphillips.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/americangods_pnp_sized.mp42132019-03-10T00:20:54+00:00yes https://rielphillips.com/pile_portfolio/10-year-anniversary-reel/ https://rielphillips.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/10year_still.jpg10 Year Anniversary ReelIt’s officially been 10 years since I’ve been working as a motion designer, so I decided to put together an updated collage of my work.

Jason DeruloText was probably the most fun I've had working on a music video. I collaborated with Director Kevin Shulman on this project. The goal was to seamlessly integrate the digital world into Mann's life. (Spoiler alert, it was all a dream!) I used Final Cut to compile all of the green screen footage, and After Effects to design, composite, and animate all of the title treatments.https://player.vimeo.com/video/111241452010-04-22T07:50:50+00:00yes https://rielphillips.com/pile_portfolio/8/ https://rielphillips.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/mh.jpgMarques Houston - How I DoMarques Houston's "How I Do" was a project I composited using all green screen footage and After Effects.https://player.vimeo.com/video/104465882010-03-25T21:31:20+00:00yes https://rielphillips.com/pile_portfolio/i-see-stars-3d/ https://rielphillips.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/iss_v2.jpgI See Stars - 3DI See Stars' "3D" was a music video I composited using all green screen footage and After Effects.https://player.vimeo.com/video/104461752010-03-25T02:20:54+00:00yes https://rielphillips.com/pile_portfolio/faking-the-books/ https://rielphillips.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/faking_v2.jpgFaking The BooksFaking The Books is a project that is near and dear to my heart. It was my thesis project and solidified my career direction as a motion designer. Even though it's an unofficial fan-made video, by 2016 it had over 160,000 views on Youtube, 30,000 views on Vimeo, and it was selected as a Vimeo Staff pick. I worked closely with designer Toni Fleming to animate this abstract world, all while staying inspired by this truly haunting piece.https://rielphillips.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/faking-the-books-lali-puna.mp43732009-04-24T05:41:20+00:00yes
