Cordell Barker, the two-time Academy Award-nominated Canadian animator, marries his singular talents with a Seussian script to energize what could have been a very dry explainer video for Nokia’s enterprise networking solutions.
Barker and Montreal studio TONIC DNA worked directly with Nokia and its creative team to create “a wondrous world where industry’s biggest dreams are realized.”
