NEW WORK 🚨🚨🚨 Our very own Zach Tavel directs the absurdist launch film for the plant-based cheese brand 'Plonts', featuring comedian Kate Berlant. 🧀 "In building this Sisyphean world for our commercial, I was eager to utilize those techniques like miniatures & mattes, but in a higher-fidelity and contemporary way, thanks in large part to our Production Designer Brin Frost and our VFX team of Simone Ghilardotti and John Malcolm Moore. Ultimately, I wanted to let the talents of Kate & Charly carry the comedic essence of the spot--I just made sure to provide them with a world that was visually dynamic and just off-kilter enough to work with the tone." "PLONTS™. IT WON'T SAVE THE PLANET, BUT IT PROBABLY WON'T HURT." Congrats to the superstar team involved. ✨ Blinkink Zach Tavel Joe Byrne Alex Halley Alexander Handschuh Jack Hamilton Tuncer Ozdemir Gulistan Korkmaz Brin Frost Beattie Hartley Lucy James Dasha taivas Alex Cullen Bryan Lim Benjamin Schweimler Ricca Jack Taylor Charly Clive Easy Pete's Cody Ackors Mark Donnelly Plonts Josh Moser Sophie Moscovici-Troyka Zach Seely Studio Hapax Danny Scharar Connor Bailey House Post Gina Martin Simone Ghilardotti John Malcolm Moore Dusty Albertz Howdy Sound Drew Toresco Josh Kuzo Briana Dunning Amber Dreadon Paddy Bairgrie Evelyn Davis

OWNED BY YOU. RIGHT BY YOU. 👥 Director Sam Gainsborough gives us all a masterclass on the impact of stop motion animation for visual storytelling in this promo for Co-Op. Made by printing each sequence onto individual receipts (with 899 total frames!) and then animated by hand in stop motion under the rostrum. “We had a wonderful printing team, who would print and cut each frame of the film through the receipt printer, then they would shoot all the frames in stop-motion animation. It was immediately exciting to see the textures and delightful imperfections that the printing process created. It’s always lovely working with a new process/ technique - and it was a joy to discover that receipt printers naturally create such lovely errors, textures and details. The film looks very simple, but a huge amount of work went into creating it. We were lucky to work with an incredible team of animators - led by Reg Isaac, whose naturalistic approach gave the characters in the film real authenticity. I love the character designs which were based off initial sketches by Stephen McNally. To me, the world feels very true and real - although it all exists within the tiny, slightly glitchy print on the receipt paper." ✨ More from Sam: https://lnkd.in/eXEFNWxE Sam Gainsborough Bart Yates Joe Byrne Sarah Mavity Molly Turner Daniel Quirke Jonathan Parker Chris Birch James Hudson Jason Keet Alessia Small Victoria Ellis Ness Burns Sandy Liddle Ronnie McQuillan Max Halstead Kristiana Zhekova Aida Garcia Veda Ben Chaude-Woodman Robbie Ross Pearce Crowley Paulo Fernandes Gordon Allen Brin Frost Andy Biddle Robin Jackson Promise Fayose Hannah Morris Joe Eckworth Holly Butcher George Warren Joe Tottie Daniel Lambert Jacob Wolf Clément Danveau Andy McPherson Bob Wolkers Robert Milne Tim Dillnutt Yagizhan Miditli Irene Corral de Gaspar Weiden Wong Denise Dean Alison Oxborrow Angeline De Silva Eleanor March Gerry Galleo Helena Bonastre Jay Wren Jessica Leslau Katherine Spangenberg Natasha Pollack Ryan Fairbanks Simon Swales Wayne Maslin Simone Ghilardotti Sally Heath Luca Schenato Luke Simpson Rob Ward Vik Jardine Absolute Juliette Wileman Sally Heath Sam Ashwell Lucas Trigg Olivia Ray
