Our new TV commercial for Rennie has just aired on UK television today! Rennie 'Happy Tummies' is a charming hand-drawn animation from TANDEM director Jeroen Jaspaert for agency JWT.
Jeroen (and his small team) hand-drew the animation into Adobe Flash using our fancy new Wacom Cintiq tablet/screen devices.

police 101 film is now at large
The 101 Non-emergency number public information film we made for The UK Home Office (agency M&C Saatchi) is now showing up all over the web as the UK regional police forces all seem to have their own YouTube channels these days.
TANDEM director Chris Gavin shot the film almost entirely as still photos which were then 'stitched together' using some smart compositing techniques to add depth and movement to the piece.
