In 2015 I was approached by my friends at Upper First to animate a bunch of amazing designs made by my bud Eric Pautz for ADB Safegate, a company that offers solutions for increased safety, efficiency and environmental benefits to airports worldwide.

My role was to animate and compose most of the shots and to take care of the characters’ animation as a whole.
The result is a cinematic spot full of style that came to life through the hands of a small team of very friendly and talented people.
