Kao Attack: 3D Animated Short

Together with Dentsu X, we helped audiences discover the mysteries of Stinky kingdom and learned how to fight back the bacteria with Kao Attack.

 Let's see how we did this.

The agency already proposed a story to the client before reaching us. We received the storyboard and started to develop the characters and the environment. The main characters are bacteria.

The initial idea of the environment was a desert. It must be extremely hot and dry. We made some options in terms of styles.

Then we thought deeply.... and proposed another idea. We suggested creating an environment that combined both desert and fabric.

Well, do you want to live in this peaceful world? This is just the same place, but it is very much better after trying Attack.

There were some scenes that took us a lot of time to develop and render, especially the 24-hour scene in which we had to create a crowd of bacteria.

Animatic is a must in every 3D project.

OMO Safari Treasure: Animated Short

In 2017, OMO Vietnam organized a playful event for kids called Safari Exploration. Together with Ogilvy, we created a short animation to promote the event. The video works as an opening story to invite the kids to the event and explore more.

The story: Deep inside the Safari, there is a treasure that keeps all the animals clean. Unfortunately, it is stolen and damages the forest. To save the Safari, the little adventurer with his company has to bring it back.

Enjoy our working process

Characters are the key of the story. We designed characters and presented them to the client before we chose our final hero for the film.

At first we developed this background concept. However, during the design process, we felt the design was not strong enough to capture the adventure concept.

So we work on the new design that captured the deep Safari and apparently, it showed what we wanted.

This is the cave where the treasure is stored. The treasure is the PROMO Product. It is surrounded by beautiful flowers.

In order to save the forest, the little hero couldn't do it alone. He has his companies to help him.

SIG: Animated Short

In 2017, we got an offer from SIG, one of the biggest packaging solution providers in the world to develop a 3D animated music video for them to educate people about their packaging technology.

The challenge: In Vietnam, there are rumors about fake milk, because one product (like a milk pack) can have 2 different packages to contain them. This confuses users and allows rumors to spread out quickly and affects packaging solution providers like SIG.

The truth is it's really hard to fake milk. But when milk is exposed to the environment without getting protected, it will get sour. These packaging solution providers like SIG do not sell the packaging only but they sell the protection. No light or air can get in to the packs, so consumers can store them for an extended period – even without refrigeration and with no preservatives.

Solution: Facing the challenge, we discussed with the client and decided to make a music animation to educate parents and children about the technology behind their packaging to protect the milk.

We humanize all the characters in the video and create a story about a super hero that can protect all the milk citizens in their world.

Let's see how we made this animation

We started with a ton of sketches before producing anything in 3D.

A couple of still frames from the look and feel department.

A storyboard is a must in every video project.
