Animation

Here’s the latest from the Amsterdam office of Wieden + Kennedy promoting the recent release of the Honda Insight hybrid automobile. This must have been a nightmare to setup, but definitely paid off once they start to pan-out as the sun rises to reveal the light-show was simply a large grouping of cars in a parking lot. Great combination of animation and coordinated planning on their part.

Zach Watkins was the copywriter with Craig Melchiano and Nacho Guijarro as the Art Directors (Nacho also is credited as being the Animator) for the agency on this spot. Erik van Wyk directed this piece with production house Bouffant, Cape Town (with Tim Pike as the Director of Photography). Light Design was by Tim Dunn from Gear House, Sound Design by Rens Pluym at The Ambassadors and featured flame artists Marco Raposa de Barbosa and Pheng Sisopha from Black Ginger. Off-line editing was done by Kobus Loots at Upstairs Post.
