Tangent

Art&Graft

A team on a tangent, a connecting thread of shifting movement, a studio’s broad toolkit of techniques. From 2D to 3D, from Unreal to handcrafted feel, mograph, frame-by-frame, paints, crayons, vectors, every technique under the studio roof.

Stills

Tangent does what it says on the tin. A quick succession of vibrant, contrasting animations stitched together via an invisible motion seam. From the face of the moon to the glowing orb, the circular guide shape that moves through the film is interpreted in several different ways.
Each member of the team had a 3-second section and complete creative freedom.

The guide circle was reimagined into a house rocketing into space and an eerie, descending elevator but despite the vast array of different environments, the motion stayed seamless throughout. Tangent is a demonstration of the breadth of expertise within the studio team elevated through collaboration.
