Co-directors Softly Dunstan and Darren Price at Mighty Nice in Sydney use a smart mix of 3D and watercolor illustration to leverage the package designs of Proud & Punch frozen treats into a series of short and charming animated spots.

Mighty Nice: “We worked endlessly to recreate the watercolor effects on the animals’ textures and surfaces while seeking a balance with the ‘real-world’ pop that remained center screen.

“Existing pack art was projected onto 3D planes to allow the leaves to bend and rustle in the gentle wind.”
