Coraline is a horror fantasy film based on the novella Coraline by Neil Gaiman. The film is the first stop motion animation to be created in 3D and is directed by Henry Selick. Coraline tells the story of a young girl who encounters a parallel reality when she unlocks and enters a mysterious door in her home. The new world through the door appears to be thrilling and fantastical, however events soon take a dark turn and Corlaine finds herself fighting to return to her real life. Reportedly a combination of Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter, Where the Wild Things Are and Pans Labyrinth, Corlaine is set to provide “terror and joy in roughly equal doses”.

With Michael Stipe’s arresting song, Until the Day is Done, playing throughout the spot, we are left simultaneously bewildered and proud. Bewildered at the astonishing violence in our world, and proud of the selfless among us attempting to hinder its relentless surge. Seven racially diverse individuals are superimposed onto scenes of violence wherein they appear to stand between aggressors and their targets; releasing prisoners, removing nooses off necks and withdrawing weapons from children. The heroes are placed in the heart of nations that are war-torn and plagued with cruelty, in order to attest our own capacity to protect human rights.

New York-based Conceptual Design, Animation and VFX studio SUSPECT added to its impressive string of work with a spot reintroducing Sierra Mist Cranberry Splash. Led by Co-Founder/Creative Director Tim Crean and Creative Director Hoon Chong, the SUSPECT team created a dynamic animated world to bring the popular soda back as the de facto party drink for this holiday season. The spot begins with a muted party atmosphere animated by a shifting gray silhouette of partygoers calmly mingling behind a carton of eggnog. The muted backdrop and subdued crowd create an ideal contrast to the excitable cranberries that appear in a vivid red armada to push aside and displace the status quo party drink.
