Key Assets

Scriptwriting

Writing, editing and reviewing the five original scripts of the five animations was a wonderful and enriching experience that gave us the opportunity to work alongside some of the best animators and cartoon artists in the world, like Steve Cutts and Bruno Bozzetto.

Visual Identity

Designing and developing a brand new visual identity for this project was quite a feat. From scratch we worked closely with the client to ensure that every aspect was taken into consideration bringing to life a polished, minimalistic visual identity that summarises the overall messages of the Project.

Official Launch

Envisioning and directing the official launch ceremony of The Water Rooms that was held during Expo Milano 2015, was an extraordinary creative accomplishment. The event saw coming onto the stage a number of political figures, environmentalists, journalists, world-renowned musicians, and actors.
