FUSION
I was approached by NOA Brands to design and direct this spot for their new sustainable mannequin "Re-Flex", the only catch was a quick turnaround. I knew from the start I wanted this to feel more like a short film in a 'world' than a traditional spot and started channelling 80s and 90's anime for the backgrounds and mixed in some Futurism for good measure.
I enlisted the help of Amy and Josh to handle the cel who elevated everything to a new level, injecting character and personality into the designs I hadn't thought possible.
