In his first solo helming effort, WIZZ director/animator Gary Levesque (formerly of creative duo Flying V) aims for your Valentine’s day heartstrings in this animated :90 for flower delivery service Teleflora through Blacklist.
Gary Levesque: “I come from 3D, so the creation of this universe in 2D all in black and white (with a few brushstrokes of red to highlight the flowers) was a great opportunity to create longer shots, a varied cast of characters, and to craft a more elaborated narrative.”
“I was captivated by the idea of working on a long format film with such a strong creative potential. It allowed me better flexibility to set the context, the background and to develop in detail the evolution of the main character as we follow him through his life.”
