Origami In the Pursuit of Perfection (Stop Motion Animation)
Origami artist Sipho Mabona on the story behind “Origami in the Pursuit of Perfection”, the award-winning film he worked on for Asics:
Commissioned by the advertising agency Nordpol+ Hamburg I designed the origami models and consulted the stopmotion as well as the computer animators of this world wide corperate movie that tells the story of the japanese sports brand ASICS. The movie won a Grand Prix at the Eurobest, gold at the New York festival, gold at the London International Awards, silver at the Clio in Miami and two times bronze at ADC Germany.
