It’s very rare that we get to create some animation for the sheer fun of it (and believe it or not, creating 24 images for every second can be the most amazing fun one can have by oneself!) but when we saw the brief for Smile for London we decided to have a go. And it only required 10 seconds, or 240 drawing – pah!

It’s a competition to show animated films on the underground, to brighten up the drudging boredom of commuting, so we decided to create a film entitled “what do commuters think about?”

This was created in After Effects, with artwork created in Photoshop.

Although our piece was not selected as one of the final few, we were more than happy to be shortlisted and enjoyed a great night out at the Museum of London!
