Animation

An animated short created for Philips Radio to showcase how an advertising poster is conceptually and physically assembled. The film uses Pal-Doll replacement animation, where each slight movement is represented by a unique handcrafted wooden puppet frame, to playfully dramatize the steps of graphic design and poster assembly in Art Deco-inspired style.
