2019
Directed by Dave Maruchniak.
Produced in partnership with 1stAveMachine, for this British Gas campaign, Dave set up to depict both the humanism and the heroism required to save a life, in a way that felt true to the protagonist's recollection of the events, relying on visual metaphors to drive the compelling narrative forward. He gathered a great animation team that helped him achieve this task, keeping the art direction and character design clean and minimal, but with enough detail to be able to express emotions. Live-action and animation work hand in hand, showing how passionate British Gas workers are for what they do. Welcome to 'Life of an Engineer.
