We teamed up with Australian physician and author Dave Moen on this mixed-media film for his second book “Permission To Move,” which takes a whole new perspective on how to treat chronic pain.
After brainstorming with Moen about his mission, we conceived a stylistically varied approach and freedom to bring the concept to life with, and select which way to go to best communicate each of the concepts through the film. The main challenge throughout the film was to create a perfect blend in terms of color and compositions while working with so many different styles and techniques. It was also a big creative boost at the same time. Such a fun project to work on, and doing it along with a group of crazy talented friends just made it better. We are an independent animation studio based in Barcelona; storytellers, character lovers, and detail freaks. We like to take care of each stage of a project: script, design, storyboard, animation, music, and sound design.
