COSTA GUYANA

Costa, makers of the clearest & raddest fishing sunglasses on the planet, asked us to tell the amazing story of their work in Guyana. The sport fishing industry relies on conservation, and they've jumped in with both feet. We took inspiration from the art, colours, and music of Guyana to create this mixed perspective tour of the jungle, and the wildlife that live there. Voiced by the hunky John Corbett. Client: Costa Sunglasses Agency: Giant Ant Directed by: Giant Ant Producer: Brant Cheetham Creative Direction: Jay Grandin Script: Jay Grandin Art Direction: Lucas Brooking Design: Lucas Brooking, Jay Grandin Animation Direction: Jorge Canedo Estrada Animation/Compositing: Jorge Canedo Estrada, Henrique Barone, Matt James, Shawn Hight, Nicholas Ferreira, Jay Grandin Music: Ryland Haggis Sound FX: Cory Hawthorne VO Direction: Leah Nelson Voice Talent: John Corbett

DEVELOPED AT GIANT ANT, this one MIXEs some perspective tricks with a flat and angular design. ANIMATION HAD TO FOLLOW THESE RULES ESTABLISHED BY THE ART DIRECTION, SO THE CHARACTERS WOULD FEEL LIKE LIVING IN THAT WORLD.
