Brief Explanation

In order to produce this commercial, we decided to go for an animation technique that is a mix between 3D images and hand drawings. Each sequence was drawn frame by frame, and then, reworked and enhanced with CGI animation. The background is made out stylized pages from The Economist magazine. The red color used for all illustrations is the exact same tone as The Economist’s red. For this production we combined traditional and contemporary design techniques, metaphorically representing the traditional « paper » version of the magazine as well as its « digital » version.
