Joseph Pierce “The Pub”

Posted in: black and white, General, joseph pierce, magical realism, pub, rotoscope, slice of life, surrealism


In The Pub, Joseph Pierce uses his surreal magnifying glass to shine a light on the murky slipstream of a North London pub. Similar to his previously highlighted films, A Family Portrait and Stand Up, Pierce uses a combo of shot footage and animation to illuminate and accentuate the emotional states of the pub patrons.

Fun shots of the pub in progress are available on flickR and a great interview with Joseph Pierce is available at Directors Notes.

YMCA: Head Gear Animation

Posted in: General, Headgear Animation, paper animation, Questions, rotoscope, Stop-motion, TBWAVancouver, YMCA


Head Gear Animation and TBWA\Vancouver created this charming spot for YMCA, titled ‘Questions’. Its important message is definitely worth pondering, especially for people like us who spend most of our waking hours indoors and glued to a computer screen.

The tactile lo-fi look and carefully considered colour scheme (dull versus bright marks, contrast between all the ‘less than ideal’ facts and the more positive mission statement to reclaim our community) work so well together in driving the message home. The simply brilliant message stays with me long after the last frame flashes on my computer screen.  Time to go out there, folks! Enjoy the (Northern-hemisphere) spring!

NOTE: You can also watch an alternative version (with a child’s VO), check out the print campaign and agency credits, and don’t miss the campaign’s official website !
