Recently formed by Ian Sigmon and Nick Forshee, Gunner is an animation studio in Detroit with an emphasis on design-driven animation.
Gunner partnered with Great Big Story to bring to life the observations and journey of astronaut Leland Melvin as he acclimates to life back on earth.
From Gunner:
We were approached by Great Big Story a couple months back to add animation bits to one of their segments on Leland Melvin. It was one of those “we’ll let you do what ever you want” kinda things. Hard to say no when you’re talking about space, space is really sweet. We took that as a perfect opportunity to work with some new friends we’ve met here in Detroit.
