Studio Projects:

Unstoppable (Book Trailer):
An animated music video about Graham and the dangerous world of the "Unstoppable" books. The video covers many key events that happened to the characters, which cannot be changed or reversed. Each strike of the dagger is accompanied by drums and riffs by the artist "Fun Mode," which makes you want to rewatch the animation and listen to every note again.

Anime Shop Simulator (Trailer):
This is not just a store simulator, but a small adventure, and you, as a player, decide to open your own anime shop. The focus of the trailer are two main characters at the very begining of their adventure, creating their very own store together. Through out the story we see how this empy space slowly begins to change, gradually filling the shelves with manga, figures and light. The team wanted to empasize the exciting feling of starting a new business and geeking out over something you love, all conveyed without the need of any dialogue.

Elizabethan Children's Hospice:
The studio team personally visited the hospice to gain a deeper understanding of the space, people, and atmosphere. The visual basis of the video was children's comics that they saw during the visit: children drew characters in the form of kittens who talked about their daily troubles and how to cope with their situations. This image formed the basis of the whole story.
