Taking illustrations from James Taylor as their starting point, James “Mutanthands” Wignall and co-animator Mark Warrington built a little Pied Piper narrative for agency fivefootsix, who approached Mainframe needing an animation style guide for Nokia.
Taylor’s illustrations are full of character on their own, but in the hands of Wignall and Warrington, they spring pleasantly to life. I’ll be curious to see how Nokia uses this project. It could be the start of an interesting new direction for them.
