SmileTrain 400 Directed and Animated by Joan Chung, at Polyester Studio
I’ve been interning at Polyester Studio for the past month and half, and it’s been pretty cool.
This is a 15 sec (that expanded to a 25 sec) spot that I directed/animated for SmileTrain, a non-profit team that offers free cleft lip and palate surgery to children around the world.
The timeframe for pre-production & production was one month and two weeks, which was pretty generous. (I worked on some character designs with Jeremy (Polyester Studio’s co-founder) on a project for Optimum when the spot needed to be approved by the agency and its clients. I’ll post those later.)
Above are the style frames & rough animation (speed x2). Below are the storyboards/leica and the final spot.
