  The Brief:

  Kanoti were commissioned by the Pleasance Theatre, Edinburgh to create an animated short to be screen in their courtyard throughout the Festival Fringe. Kanoti were given free rein to interpret the brief as long as it included a flavour of the festival.

  The Approach:

  Our approach was to create a humorous piece revolving around comedy at the Fringe. We wanted the style to be individualistic and convey realistically as much nuance and performance elements of amateur stand up as was possible. To do this we incorporated many different animation styles, including  green screen, 3d, traditional frame by frame, taxidermy puppetry, ink illustration and found objects.

  The Approach:

  Kanoti: Christmas Greetings 2008

  The Brief:

  To create an in-house animated Christmas card to send to our clients.

  The Approach:

  We told the sad and frightening tale of Billy and Bobby: two unfortunate ice skaters who happen upon an evil, giant snowman.  The animation combines 3D with a rich, textured, retro look.

  The animation was selected for the Pictoplasma: Characters in Motion international character design festival.
