Director Steve Small and the animation crew at Studio AKA in London showcase their talents for understated wit and comedic timing in this 30-second charmer full of wonderful character quirks for UK insurance company Admiral.

From the team at Studio AKA: “Creating a dark and stormy night was a lovely challenge for our 3D team. They had to rethink the lighting and textures for the nocturnal setting, playing around with special effects so you’ll feel the rain and wind, cleverly filling the scene with ripples in the puddles, rustling leaves, and a sweeping ocean view.”
