Vanda Pharmaceuticals – Action Antidote
A journey through the South of France, classic action movies, and a visual style where 3D meets 2D.
In another collaboration with Vanda Pharmaceuticals, we once again had the creative freedom that has come to define our projects together. This time, the story takes us to the French Riviera, drawing inspiration from the world of action movies – fast-paced storytelling, dramatic settings, and the journey itself as an adventure.
Brikk created the film using a combination of 3D and 2D animation. Environments and sequences were built in 3D to create depth, perspective, and cinematic camera movements, before being transformed into a more graphic and illustrated 2D style.
The result is a love letter to action movies, the South of France, and the possibilities that emerge when different animation techniques come together.
