ABOUT

In collaboration with the Mill+ design and animation team Brothers and Sisters created a charming, colourful and engaging short film for children’s eco-fashion brand The Fableists.
 
The film, narrated by Jennifer Saunders, tells the story of a young girl, taken on a whimsical journey by the loose thread on her t-shirt in the quest to discover its origins.
 
Inspired by the illustrative and graphic style of The Fableists’ t-shirt designs and by the concept of how a child might see the world, Mill+ animation directors Kwok Fung Lam and Ivo Sousa created an animation sequence using exaggerated angles, bold colours, distorted reality and tight cameras to create an epic fantasy journey full of energy and most importantly fun.
 
Mill+ artists used a whole host of techniques to bring this project into fruition; Style frames were drawn up in Photoshop, the character animation was drawn frame by frame in Flash, with other elements being completed in Cinema 4D before the whole piece was composited together in AFX and Premiere.
