    paper 2D character animation for Samsung

    It was through Job’n’Joy that we were invited to create an animated spot for the Samsung R&D Institute Poland campaign. Thanks to the trust placed in us by both the agency and the client, we were able to bring our wildest visions to life — creating an animated version of the Samsung Possibilitech world. On this production, Radek was not only director and producer, but also had a hand in establishing the animation flow, the overall visual direction, drawing storyboards, some of the illustrations, character designs, and even stop-motion sequences. And at the finish line, he brought together all the material from the entire team of animators and added his personal final touch — a pinch of his own feel from his personal animation repertoire.
