Strike is a charming stop motion animated full length feature film about a mole who dreams of becoming a pro footballer, created by Gigglefish Studios.

We were approached by the production team to create concept art for the project focusing on character generation and world creation.

After initial discussion we suggested illustrating backdrops to create a detailed background bed of visual information that would both increase the feeling of detail and reality and act as a support bed to the built 3d models that would sit in front. The creation of these backdrops saved a significant amount of production build time and cost.

We also had the opportunity to work on the brand creation merchandise concepts and the brand and ident design.
