ThinCard
This is an animated presentation for ThinCard, a company that had the great idea of collecting all membership cards from different loyalty clubs into one.
Note that the animation is directed to the loyalty club owners, not the final client.
The idea was to show the data they collected in their marketing research in a funny way.
Oh, and did I mention it had to be ready in 4 days?
So I came up with this simple characters that I animated in Flash and After Effects.

I’ve been commissioned to make an intro to their reel and 4 bumpers that will be used as title plates for their case studies.
