Motorola Promotional Film

Directors Smith & Foulkes have developed this animation for Motorola, to promote its sponsorship of film festival Grand Classic. PR company The Fish Can Sing asked Nexus Productions to “document the progression of film technology,” explains producer Chris O’Reilly: “We open with a zoetrope of a rabbit that breaks free and runs through the last 100 years of cinema.”Parodying film styles and classic moments from movies including Nosferatu, Citizen Kane and Lost in Translation, the film ends with the rabbit watching itself on a mobile phone. “The challenge was finding interesting ways to move through scenes and link them all together,” adds O’Reilly.

Producers: O’Reilly and Bavasso. Production manager: Luke Youngman
