Cartoon Network Ident: Light Switch
(17sec, 2D animation clip by Isabella Luu, Olivier Samter, Kerstin Zemp)In the context of a course in my bachelor’s degree, we created a short clip for Cartoon Network Germany. The protagonists of their cult series “Adventure Time” were used in our idea. Our vision was to bring back the hand-made and child-like feeling in Animation and Light Switch was the result of it.
