Two Black Boys In Paradise

BALANCING ACTS
 

Go behind the scenes on our latest commercial work made in collaboration with BBH London and The Sweetshop.

 

Handmade over 12 weeks, our stop-motion scenes capture the push and pull of modern living; from chaotic commuting to late night computing, we visualise the hidden pressures felt by a miraculous multitasking matriarch.
