And there is this!!!! We found out this am that we took the Grand Jury Prize for best documentary at Sundance Film Festival Incredible BluBlu Studios and Liz Laine Reps, Inc.!!!
01/23/2024
BluBlu/ Liz Laine Reps, Inc. produced the animation for a documentary called "Porcelain War" that debuted at Sundance last Sat and it is getting rave reviews, in addition to getting specific call outs on the animation. "As with most documentaries, this film is a feat of editing. Brendan Bellomo, Aniela Sidorska, and Kelly Cameron are all credited for efficient, comprehensive work. One cannot fathom the amount of footage (and the number of sources) from which this trio had to parse, organize, and form a narrative. That Porcelain War emerges as a taut, effective war documentary that also features compelling animated sequences within the beautiful artwork of its lead subjects makes it a stand-out piece of filmmaking. Its existence proves its own point: even in war, there must be life. Art sustains us and helps us survive." Dan Mecca - co-founder and managing editor of The Film Stage.Debut 1/20/24 at @ Sundance Film Festival 2024

NEW / Seed Animation for Yelp Restaurants
YELPS first campaign since 2016 celebrates restaurants’ ability to ‘Turn the Tables’ in this fun 60 second film. It features three restaurateurs who managed to turn the unpleasantness of the pandemic into positive, and sometimes selfless, situations - by giving food out to local people and offering opportunities to chefs who were struggling to get by.
Seed jumped in once they had chosen to lead with 3 of the most inspiring stories, featuring Ketsuda, Glen and Ann. Besides the personalities of these people, Seed also had rich visual pickings from each of their restaurants. They created a miniature style environment, with larger than life characters, and a device based on the ‘Turn the Tables’ theme where empty cafes turned into thriving spaces.
A big shout out to the team at Yelp for giving Seed the opportunity to visually develop this from scratch. It's a treat to have such an enthusiastic client willing to creatively explore.

For , The Feelings are here to bring awareness to the hugely detrimental impact COVID-19 has had on the mental health of frontline healthcare staff. Created with Jelly London directors Nicesh*tstudio & McCann Health London alongside The Laura Hyde Foundation.
Due to the intense demands of their job, doctors, nurses, and paramedics were already a high risk group for mental health issues, such as depression and PTSD.
Inspired by stories from the healthcare frontline ’The Feelings’ draws attention to the reality of what frontline workers experience.
An original song leads the set of characters through different emotional states likely to be familiar to healthcare workers - including ‘Deep Sadness’, ‘Power Less’, ‘Rising Dread’, and ‘Red Rage’.
The hope is by characterising these feelings and naming them, it will make them easier to recognize, relate to, and talk about, helping to remove stigma and encourage healthcare staff to seek support for their own mental health. Watch the film at the link below.

Working closely alongside Adam&EveNYC, Jelly London - Estudio Pum were commissioned together with KITCHEN to develop a new visual world for the US probiotic and prebiotic drinks brand KeVita. ‘For All Gutkind’ is an ode to each and every kind of gut there is.
The campaign was developed to reposition the Pepsico owned brand in the world of gut-led health drinks, embracing illustration and animation to build an organic, natural, abstract – and fun – celebratory world to stand out from the rest.
Estudio Pum’s visual world consisted of 6 key visuals in varying formats to span both brand and the portfolio of products. The landscapes are inhabited by a family of fun characters, embodying and celebrating the diversity and variety of different guts.

Jelly London's Em Cooper works alongside Stella Artois and Mother London to create a life-saving spot. In this global TVC, featuring Matt Damon, Jelly director Em Cooper has used her solid directorial and storytelling skills combined with her trademark hand-painted style and fluid, animated transitions to tell this amazing story, depicting the joy of having water close at hand for those who normally struggle to get it. This Christmas, Stella Artois are selling a special limited edition Christmas Stella ‘chalice’, each chalice sold donates money to Water.org, (founded by Matt Damon and sponsored by Stella Artois), which aims to bring water closer to remote villages in the less-developed world, this, in turn, saves time for the women who walk miles every day to get water for their families – giving them back that time to spend with their families - ‘The Gift of Time’. #lizlainereps

JELLY - HAYWARDS "Paint The Process" / Hand-painted 2D Jelly has been very busy this Fall, to include Jelly London-represented director, Em Cooper oil paint animation piece that communicates the idea of dedication, hard work and the training process that athletes go through in the run up to their pivotal sporting achievements. In a film made with Wieden+Kennedy, Portland for their client Hayward Field, which is an iconic Track & Field training ground based in Oregon, USA. Hayward has seen countless record-breakingathletes in training, such as Sha’Carrie Richardson, Nick Symmonds and Otis Davis. Using Em’s signature, emotionally charged style of oil painting and rotoscoped animation, clips from famous Track & Field sporting moments combined with rotoscoped animation are used to paint the maniacal, intense process of training that leads up to the glory of winning. The mood and tone shift from a darker, more obscured animated world, which represents the hard work and training, to a clearer, more detailed live action one, which shows the glory of winning. “it’s what you put in, that leads to the glory you get out”. #handpainted #animation #lizlainereps
NEW WORK* Planet Propaganda and J-B Weld Stick With J.J. Sedelmaier Productions and Bodega Studios For New Brand Campaign Launch. Directors J.J. Sedelmaier and Mike G (BODEGA Studios, LA) recently collaborated to seamlessly blend live and animated characters together in “Be Your Strongest Self”, a 7 spot master brand campaign, for agency Planet Propaganda and their client, J-B Weld, the leader in DIY epoxy, and adhesives. Each spot features a live action character confronting and remedying an adhesive or repair issue, with the assistance and encouragement from their animated “clone”. Their confident and supportive cartoon alter- ego guides them successfully through the process and provides an enthusiastic congratulations at the end. “I saw this animation/live action campaign as a terrific opportunity to take our character animation into a new new realm”, said animation director\designer Sedelmaier. “The interaction between the two worlds is fun and provides a nice support for the various products and their use. The other aspect of this project that was awesome was the partnering with Mike G. He was involved in the production from beginning to end, and even worked directly on the actual compositing of the animation/live. This meant we could strategize intimately with each other on the set during the shoot(s) when we needed to solve creative/technical issues that would ultimately be addressed on post.” #2danimation #characteranimation #integratedaniation #liveaction #mixedmedia
One Love foundation approached Not To Scale and Kris Merc to illustrate their campaign for teenagers and love. The magic of love is at the heart of this campaign with the dynamic character styles and bespoke music tract, reflecting the world young people are living in today and all the nuances of what loves looks like to each person. Director Kris Merc approached the project by reflecting that everyone deserves to see themselves loved, through all the varying forms it takes. This manifests itself though the visual identity of diverse characters and through the compelling storytelling and eye-catching 2d styles. #lizlainereps #animation #2danimation
