COMIC TV SPOT
TV SPOT
CLIENT: 4KIDS
We keep repeating it. We love clients who have the courage to create something really different.
And when we talk about TV spots that promote toy sales, we dare say, that with 4KIDS, that difference is

where the target audience is not children, but parents.

How the sequences are supposed to feel and how the voiceover will fit in. That’s what an animatic is for,
which also serves as an animated sketch for the client to approve.

The Christmas spot was created in a simpler form of animation. Budget solutions can sometimes make sense
when leveraging the strong potential of an idea or story, investing more in visual detail.
