RED BEE MEDIA
Red Bee Media asked us to design and animate celebrities as super heroes, for the national campaign promoting The BBC’s Children In Need. The famous faces in the campaign were, Tom Jones, Helena Bonham Carter, Paul Hollywood, Abbey Clancy and Louis Smith, with a voice over from James Bond himself, Daniel Craig. The TV spot was directed in homage to super hero animations from the nineties – all action fun!
