FAN - animation festival indents
FAN animation festival (now Aurora) animated indents delivered online as microsite ‘teasers’ and finally used as stings projected between screenings at the festival itself.
These where created as part of soup’s sponsorship of the event and involved a very quick turn around.
Each indent was based on a classic film such as Hichcock’s ‘The Birds’ and ‘Jaws’. The festivals mascot clapper-board dog took a starring role in each scenario such as the shark taking out the boat.
The simple art style was used to follow the print advertising material. Produced at Soup.
My Involvement: Flash design, concept development, layout and all animation.
