This is broadcast design work at it's best. Beautifully executed and superbly directed. The vision of the project to establish an identity revolving around a set of unique characters living in a uniquely landscaped world is what makes it so special. Successfully establishing an episodic narrative which is perfectly suited to the format of television and a stunning visual palette make this work a stand out.
