Huggies Free to Be Commercial

Ogilvy Singapore commissioned Cirkus to produce this epic spot for American internationally-known baby diaper brand, Huggies. This “Free to Be” commercial adopts a tactile and naive cut-out world, visually adopting a scrap-book, mixed media sort of feel. 
These were the style frames submitted at pitch stage; the mood of which carries through all the way to the final commercial.

This team really got stuck into this project and we ended up using every animation technique under the sun which gives it the lovely hand-made feel.
