Havana Heat, animation for Good Books by The Mill
Good Books, the charitable bookseller, is back with a new video.
After the excellent Metamorphosis, here’s their new animation: Havana Heat.
This video is part of The Great Writers Series, a collection of short films created to promote the concept of Good Books by adopting the narrative style of famous authors.
- McBess
This second installment was produced by The Mill London, which donated its talent for a good cause.
They’ve also just been named Best Post-Production Company 2012 at the LIA.
As for the writing, it was once again handled by String Theory, the New Zealand agency behind the concept.
The French touch
On the artistic direction and directing side, we find two talented Frenchmen —
Matthieu Bessudo, aka McBess, and Simon Landrein. Both are former students of Supinfocom and currently work at The Mill London.
This video reinforces my feeling about the return of traditional animation, or at least its style — and I couldn’t be happier about it! A big bravo to both of you, as well as to the entire team involved in this project, listed below.
