This is a truly beautiful hand drawn animated short from a very unlikely place. The State of Oregon's Tourism board commissioned this brilliant piece of animation and used music from the Oregon Symphony! It was created through the Oregon based marketing/advertising firm, Wieden+Kennedy. This hand drawn marvel is something I wish we could see more of. It was animated by the Psyop & Sun Creatures Studio in Oregon and Copenhagen with heavy references and a nod to Japanese master animator Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. It is brilliant how the studio blended many of Oregon's beautiful landmarks into this animated piece. Even cooler is how the tourism website went a step further and made it the focal point of their website using it to be the backdrop and main focus on their newly updated 2018 website. Take the time to enjoy this animation as it flows harmoniously with the music conducted by Jim Dooley.
The Super Cool WebsiteI would love to see your feedback on this hand drawn marvel. It isn't often ANY group, would take the time and money to commission something this beautiful. I had to share it. Animation and art is a passion of mine...
