From the team, to the client, to the creative – this project was perfect.
One of those rare fleeting moments where months felt like two weeks and you look back on it, sigh deeply and saying something like:

“ Every single dossier, newspaper article, scientific paper, military action report… even camera instructions – all needed to be hand-written. ”
Hand-Made
Due to various constraints, we created everything you see in these films in-house – often, literally, by hand. Ink splotches. A plethora of scrawled scribbles. Crumpled black tape and fist-clamped marker-swipes.
Hundreds of different textures, layers and tools were all scanned and then integrated into the tapestry timeline of every film’s animation.
Every asset hums with hand-crafted harmony and, as a result, every finished film feels more human.
Copy on Copy
