Here’s How Catherine Prowse
 & Passion Animation Built Stop-Motion Messaging for Telstra

Join director Catherine Prowse (whose wonderful Childline spot we featured in Stash 145) as she walks us through the process behind three quietly charming stop-motion spots for Telstra thru agency Bear Meets Eagle On Fire.

Micah Walker, CCO, BMEOF: “This is such a simple idea with engineering at the heart of the execution. We love that the rigor and care that stop motion requires to make something look effortless is also true of how Satellite messaging works and Catherine has done a lovely job of making that huge effort charming and memorable.”
