ConocoPhillips Sustainable Development

ConocoPhillips hired us to created a video to support their efforts in Sustainable Development. The project is based around a drawing hand. We filmed Wes Pohl’s hand doing a number of different actions and built them into the aviations. The project lasted for about six months and is still being used today.

Programs:  After Effects  + Illustrator + Photoshop + Premiere Pro

Below are some of my favourite scenes from the video
