Fantastic staging & great layouts

This animated short is so well executed. The lighting and colors are just right. The light effects of the sunlight in many of the scenes look so real that you almost immerse in it and feel its warmth by just looking at it. The color-work throughout this movie is just gorgeous and makes me happy as a color lover at heart. The chosen scenes in combo with this retro really does its magic. Beautiful typography and just the right music makes it complete imho. This cheerful vibe makes me happy and I like that.

Looks That Kill

To some of my die-hard followers this may ring a bell since I've linked to another illustration movie on Twitter some time ago that got me excited as well. It's the same two people, Kevin Dart and Stéphane Coëdel that also collaborated on the James Bond inspired animated film called Yuki 7: Looks That Kill.
