Coffee Run
2D meets 3D on the morning
coffee run.
The morning commute, the chaos of London, an intern’s struggle captured in an infinite loop, endless details, a perfect union across different dimensions.
Inspired by the hectic morning commute through Brick Lane to Art&Graft’s old studio space, Coffee Run follows an intern* on a high intensity journey trying to navigate the streets of London with a full set of drinks.
Our 2D animators developed a detailed suite of characters that will feel familiar to morning commuters – from the jogger trying to weave in and out of the crowds, to the angry taxi driver careering down the road. These were developed in tandem with a 3D environment, in a collaborative process which made sure the final scene worked as a whole.

WORLD BUILDING
The short is littered with easter eggs including Art&Graft iconography, bespoke shop names and even a building inspired by our current studio.

Smarty
Adding character to the mobile network's first TV campaign.
An adventure into animated advertising, a phone network with an outrageously good deal, an internal workshop character who inspired an unimpressed shop keeper, two stories, two films, two ridiculous narratives, lipsyncing to vo, performance and timing, 2D sketches to 3D build, a killer tagline.
