Studio Aka: TSB: The Story

A delightful 2.5min film about the Reverend Henry Duncan and the history behind the building of the TSB bank.

The result of a collaboration between STUDIO AKA's MARC CRASTE and DAMON COLLINS at JOINT, the film reflects the historic values of TSB's founder and his drive to enable ordinary working people to overcome poverty.
Combining the hand crafted artistry of 2D character animation within a stunningly integrated use of 3D CGI sets, the journey through time is reflected in the film's opening shot; an unbroken take which lasts a whopping 95 seconds.
