Travel Oregon “Only Slightly (More) Exaggerated”

Directors Kylie Matulick, Todd Mueller and the Psyop crew reteam with Copenhagen animation studio Sun Creature to expand on the action, beauty and magic they introduced in their 2018 Travel Oregon stunner called “Only Slightly Exaggerated.”

Kylie Matulick: “This year we were able to launch right into creative development and production because we already had a solid working methodology road tested from the previous year.

“We were able to create some great mythical creatures: a rocky turtle island that controls the rising sun, an old bathing tree that feeds the bees, a furry beast that enjoys feasting on doughnuts and majestic cloud giants.”

Ansel Wallenfang, creative at Wieden+Kennedy: “Our goal with Only Slightly Exaggerated, both last year and this year, is to visualize the emotional experience of visiting Oregon.

“By using animation, we are able to capture experiences that go beyond traditional travel films, while also feeling unique to our state.”
