Each month, we like to pause and spotlight the creative work that’s caught our attention, whether it’s a striking animation, a thoughtful piece of design, or an experiment that pushes the boundaries of storytelling. These are the things that get us thinking and spark conversations in the studio. Welcome to this month’s Creature Feature!
Pencil
Tomasz Woźniakowski // Visual artist
Equal parts surreal and joyful, this animated piece centres on a shape-shifting pencil that twists, stretches, and dances to a jazzy soundtrack. Along with a nice little mixture of 2D and 3D animation, this animation is both technically brilliant in the way the pencil rig is created and also a fun watch. Beyond its pure entertainment value, it served as a nudge for us to embrace the weird and wonderful in our own creative processes!
Black Mirror vibes
If you’ve watched the recent series of Black Mirror, you can enjoy seeing Alexandre’s expirmentation with the technique of bringing photos into our reality. Using a combination of clever projection and augmented reality, he showcases pixels materialising right infront of him.
We love the feelings of nostalagia, seeing old photos seemingly brought back to life as you can step back into a different space in time and reliving those captured moments. Maybe one day soon we can all experience this!
Big Trouble in Little Norwich
This delightful series uses tilt-shift photography to transform everyday city life in Norwich into something playfull. By manipulating depth of field and frame rate, the scenes resemble stop-motion animation, turning pedestrians into miniature models going about their daily routines. Enhanced with beautifully subtle sound design, the effect is both dreamlike and cinematic. It made us reflect on the magic of reframing the mundane, and how perspective can breathe new life into the everyday.
31 Stylised Animation Breakdowns
Karlotta Freier // Illustrator
Karlotta Freier’s whimsical illustration style, typically found in children’s books, takes on a sophisticated new life when applied to luxury branding.What caught our attention was the restrained, delicate motion used to animate her work, reinforcing that sometimes simplicity is the key to elegance. It’s a reminder that animation doesn’t always need spectacle; a few well-crafted frames can evoke charm, emotion and modern appeal.
It’s always a pleasure to share work that inspires fresh thinking and creative conversation.
