A 60 second animated short film created for Panasonic’s Capture the Motion II.

RES Magazine and Tokyo-based media company Nowonmedia were commissioned to handpick five director-designers from five continents to create short films inspired by “The Glory of Sports” for the Torino 2006 Olympic Winter Games.

For Capture the Motion II the creative brief had two mandates: to give the films a humorous twist, and to capture the spirit of the Winter Olympics, without using obvious iconography or symbols associated with the games.
