Dubai Lynx Awards 2011: Silver - Film category. Bronze - Film: Animation. Bronze - Film: Art Direction

The first film for a cute campaign we made for leo burnett cairo to advertise scib paints.
We kissed our families goodbye and called on our favourite crew to get these done. The ever patient Simon Paul stepped back behind the camera for us shooting sequential stills on a massive motion control rig. The sets were constructed by gordon allen and his crew from WeAreTheArtDepartment and tastefully dressed by Sarah Thomas.
It was a great challenge working this one out and we had the most massive brains in animation scratching their to create the most complicated production pipeline possible,and using an unholy mixture of techniques to achieve the final look. The animation was lovingly hand artworked frame by frame by a dedicated team of artists.
