They say you should observe a piece of art deeply to understand its concept and interpret it in your own way, we think that Jean-Paul Frenay took this idea and twisted it into something even bigger than just an interpretation. He made sure to create an introspective “sarcastic” adventure. We were so astonished when we received this and proud to present to you a visual piece communicating social behaviors in different sceneries that will put you into a hypnotic experience.

I am interested in the concept of skin and race, and what they imply; in the ideas and theories sown into our flesh that change with the arc of time. The idea of beauty has become globalised, creating homogenous aspirations, and distorting people’s self-image across the planet. In my film, I focus on African women’s self-image, through memories and interviews; using mixed media to describe this almost schizophrenic self-visualization that I and many others have grown up with. -Best Experimental Short Film, Black Star Film Festival, USA August 2014 -Best Short Film, AfriKamera Film Festival, Warsaw, Poland April 2014 -3rd place in the Documentary Category, 2nd Afrinolly Short Film Competition, February 2014 -Best Animation, This Is England Film Festival, Rouen, France November 2013 -Best Student Film, Underexposed Film Festival, SC, USA November 2013 -Silver Hugo for Best Animated Short, 49th Chicago International Film Festival, USA October 2013 -Special Mention, 59th Oberhausen International Short Film Festival, Germany May 2013 -Best Short Film, Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards, Lagos, Nigeria March 2013 -Best Animation, 7th Kenya International Film Festival, Nairobi, Kenya November 2012 -Africa Movie Academy Awards, Bayelsa, Nigeria April 2013 Nominated for Best Short Film Award -Colours of the Nile Film Festival Addis Ababa, Ethiopia November 2012 Nominated for Best Short Film Award -Encounters Short Film Festival Bristol, UK September 2012 Nominated in The Nahemi Student Film Awards facebook.com/NgendoMukii thenge.com/

We collaborated with Google Creative Lab to create an epic pre-roll video and two TVCs for the Android “Be Together. Not the same.” campaign. Google Creative Lab came to us with this wonderful idea of a tongue-in-cheek play on the very nature of the Youtube pre-roll video: a 7 and a half minute extravaganza featuring more than 100 animated characters from the Android universe. In what seems like a never ending pre-roll ad, the Android characters – instead of trying to make the viewer watch the video, actually seek the most surprising and imaginative ways to convince you skip the video. The longer you watch without skipping the more outrageous the video becomes, resulting in a climactic ending. In addition to the epic skippable video, we also created two more TVCs for the campaign: “Block Party”: https://vimeo.com/nomint/blockparty “Phone Drop”: https://vimeo.com/nomint/phonedrop CREDITS: Client: Google Creative Lab Production Company: NOMINT www.nomint.com Creative Director: Yannis Konstantinidis Head of Production: Marilena Vatseri Animation Supervisor: Matt Landour 2D animation: Michael Towers, Matt Partridge, Chris Cray, Cako Facioli, Alex Potts, Stephen Vuillemin, Nefeli Petika, Iria Lopez, Dani Negrin, Bali Engel, Kate Sullivan, James Hatley, Conor Ryan, Carlos de Faria, Richard Smithson Sound: Huma-Huma
