With scripts by Wieden+Kennedy, the piece was produced in traditional 2D in an animation process that involved more than 20 professionals from Combo Studio, from storyboarding to editing and post-production. Marcelo Pereira, partner at Combo Studio, also spoke a little about the animation made for Old Spice, check it out:
“The main challenge is the complexity of the animation. We needed something fluid, with characters with human characteristics, but at the same time, objects – deodorants, in this case. In addition, it was necessary to always respect and honor the Old Spice brand and Japanese animations. […] Within the briefing, we had a lot of freedom to suggest scenes, cuts and designs. We had a very healthy exchange. Both W+K’s suggestions and ours have always been in favor of the best quality of the project.”
In addition to Marcelo, Felipe Paiva, W+K’s creative director also concluded:
“When the work is combined with personal passions and with the right partners, the result is always promising.”
