Helldivers

  • Portions of Propaganda

Whipping up a delectably satirical story trailer for Sony, we infused a medley of 2D and Cel animation wizardry to serve up a generous portion of laughs, cleverly spoofing the propaganda illustration style.

From the moment this project landed on our plate, we couldn’t wait to inject a dose of humor, modern flair, and the distinct Helldivers branding into the mix. Stirring them together, we relished the delightful treats that emerged!

Following the launch, the response was so overwhelming that servers buckled under the weight of eager players! It seems our mission to entertain and engage was a resounding success, leaving us with a cheeky grin and a satisfied appetite for more mischief!

Nissan Heroes

  • Anime Flavours

“Anime vibes but with After Effects” – Yeah, we can do that. 

Nissan came knocking, seeking films to spotlight their employee heroes, and we answered the call with gusto!

Crafting a recipe as distinctive as the company itself, we infused anime-style illustrations and characters into the mix, then baked them to perfection using AE.

With the final flourish of cel animation effects, we proudly pulled these creations out of the oven, piping hot and absolutely stunning! It was a feast for the eyes and a testament to the creative process.

Not Too Late

  • Environmental Edibles

Allow us to introduce “Not Too Late,” an award-winning film originally conceived for the OFFF Bogota 2020 festival titles, but sadly canceled due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

This poignant film delves into the heart of the animal kingdom, a realm we are sadly diminishing with each passing day. “Not Too Late” serves as a wake-up call, shedding light on the devastating impacts of human actions and aiming to inspire change.

Crafting this stunning animated short was a labor of love. We ventured to the beach not only for inspiration but also to do our part in cleaning up the debris littering the shores. From this collected rubbish, we meticulously crafted 90 textures, infusing our film with a raw, authentic essence. The unique visual style seamlessly blends 2D animation with cel animation ingredients, resulting in a cinematic experience that’s as striking as it is thought-provoking.

Graphika Manila

  • Opening Your Taste Buds

When the festival invitation landed in our inbox, we knew we had to cook up something truly special – a dish that not only resonated with our discussion on mental health but also struck a chord with the people of the Philippines. And so, the idea of a Jeepney Race was born.

Our Opening Titles serve as a poignant reflection of our main character’s journey, navigating through the darkness of his life, devoid of balance and purpose, until he finds himself amidst the vibrant and lively Jeepney Race. Here, engaged in something creative and fulfilling, his zest for life is reignited.

This transformative journey is mirrored in the film’s Art Direction, transitioning from a subdued color palette to a kaleidoscope of vibrant hues, symbolizing a rebirth of sorts.

For us Cookies, nothing brings greater joy than infusing our creations with creativity and flavor, leaving a lasting impression that tantalizes both the senses and the soul!
