“It Was There All Along” Short Film

Project

‘It Was There All Along’ was an inter-creative partnership between The Heist, a creative agency based in Vancouver, and a collection of digital and motion artists from across North America. The award-winning short film details the familiar, messy process of coming up with a big creative idea, ultimately revealing that it was always there, it just needed to be uncovered. We designed and animated the opening sequence using a combination of 2D and 3D animation techniques. This was an awesome opportunity to collaborate with some of the top motion talent in the industry.
