CRC Health Group approached us at Giant Ant again to create a similar piece, this is the result and it could not have been more fun. We also had the honour to have the fantastic Diego Maclean on board which added a nice dose of sarcasm to our already sarcastic environment.

We only had two weeks so we used a lot of Live action footage and some 3D to trace and tried to make it awesome:

This video for CRC is one of the first projects I’ve had the fun and privilege to work on while at Giant Ant, Long hours of work doing frame by frame work gave their fruit.

Client: CRC Health Group

Production: Giant Ant

CRC Health Group approached us with a script about the health and welfare of America’s youth, and the direction to get “edgy” and “gritty”. We chose a frame-by-frame style on black to give the spot a grittiness, following by a background change and an introduction of bright colours to illustrate hope.

Resonance: The Interpreter’s House (Jr.canest + David Kamp)

 Resonance is the vision of SR Partners; a collaborative project with over 30 independent visual and audio designers / studios. The aim was to explore the relationship between geometry and audio in unique ways. 

Animators and Audio Designers were paired up at the beginning of the project and were given the guidelines to create a piece between 12 and 20, I had the awesome opportunity to work with David Kamp.

This piece is my approach to the connection between audio and shapes, I tried to give this abstract animation a certain type of emotion, that every movement happening on screen would be more than the sole propose of look cool and sync to the sound, to do this I based this video on a section of John Bunyan’s “The Pilgrim’s Progress”, when Christian is guided trough the Interpreters House. It’s a very personal, graphic and non-descriptive explanation of this part of one of my favorite books It’s intended more to help me as the animator to give some meaning to the animation rather than narrate the story.

(If you’re curious about this you can find an extract of the book here: goo.gl/​aJ91j)

It was my honor to work in the same project with such a group of (AMAZINGLY) talented people, those guys rock.

This video was for this 48 hour Youtube Cannes Young Lions Ad Contest and a friend wanted to enter, so we did. The shoot took about a couple hours in a random alley in the city of Hong Kong and i helped out with the post production of the video, which took about 6-7 hours and well, here is the result.

We had some problems at the render/uploading time so we are not sure if we entered the contest or not.

Watch it on Vimeo.

We did the video for the Introduction of Google eBooks here at Buck, there was certainly a lot, a hell lot of work, a lot of cutting and painting:

Even though the final result was somehow different from what expected, we had some fun times. Thomatome (Thomas Pujols) did the music.
