We created a campaign for Inflatable, a temporary exhibit in collaboration with Colossal featuring artists who share air as their common medium. The playful nature of the show required a playful, straightforward approach—typography that bounces and inflates, filling empty spaces and transforming their environment just like the work itself. <img width="1024" height="683" width_o="1024" height_o="683" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/235d2fca63bed896d506e3c032258a79fb89dc96920b411f8e9fb6362efc700c/Inflatable07.jpg" data-mid="85064320" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/235d2fca63bed896d506e3c032258a79fb89dc96920b411f8e9fb6362efc700c/Inflatable07.jpg" /> <img width="1024" height="683" width_o="1024" height_o="683" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/19da05416fe424a212bde988f629f24c006e856f91767fcd43bba6176a804aaf/Inflatable08.jpg" data-mid="85064321" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/19da05416fe424a212bde988f629f24c006e856f91767fcd43bba6176a804aaf/Inflatable08.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f61b97cd3ec7b52c2f7b3e30f5d31f6b65b93defbd971f5ff276ab37425622a1/busgif07-copy.gif" data-mid="85053763" border="0" data-scale="98" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f61b97cd3ec7b52c2f7b3e30f5d31f6b65b93defbd971f5ff276ab37425622a1/busgif07-copy.gif" /> <img width="1024" height="682" width_o="1024" height_o="682" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cd827f8202a8357e38a9be19e0b66c6a0964e6a64787f6096dfaf5740e17719d/Inflatable02.jpg" data-mid="85064315" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cd827f8202a8357e38a9be19e0b66c6a0964e6a64787f6096dfaf5740e17719d/Inflatable02.jpg" /> <img width="1024" height="683" width_o="1024" height_o="683" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cf6e004055ee8067fb1c89e73f88f92e9c94874cee5e872d525548a1251c90a6/Inflatable05.jpg" data-mid="85064318" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cf6e004055ee8067fb1c89e73f88f92e9c94874cee5e872d525548a1251c90a6/Inflatable05.jpg" /> <img width="1024" height="683" width_o="1024" height_o="683" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4120d01b07ebbab41bc7975a9d6991641e51cd429172b7c05be028d331bb8a14/Inflatable01.jpg" data-mid="85064314" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4120d01b07ebbab41bc7975a9d6991641e51cd429172b7c05be028d331bb8a14/Inflatable01.jpg" /><img width="1024" height="683" width_o="1024" height_o="683" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f3a936e6960bedf6d80485e063a676709362175f8d61c7adb1b10cbdaba294e8/Inflatable09.jpg" data-mid="85064322" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f3a936e6960bedf6d80485e063a676709362175f8d61c7adb1b10cbdaba294e8/Inflatable09.jpg" /> https://kriswong.com/Nike-Huarache-V-Creator Fri, 12 Feb 2016 05:21:39 +0000 Kris Wong | Portfolio https://kriswong.com/Nike-Huarache-V-Creator Nike “Huarache V Creator” <img width="1279" height="720" width_o="1279" height_o="720" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/84613be0dcc476ba188a8e2d7457fb13edccc17b0d9f853ad9292a99ed8b97de/KrisWong_NikeHuarache07.jpg" data-mid="79148796" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/84613be0dcc476ba188a8e2d7457fb13edccc17b0d9f853ad9292a99ed8b97de/KrisWong_NikeHuarache07.jpg" /> Designed in 3 days, this ambitious 30 second spot had to be animated in 5 days. Based on the Thompson brothers of lacrosse, their Native American ancestry tells of the sport being an ancient game played by the animals. We personified each brother and each part of their customized shoe as a trait of a spirit animal. An extremely fast turn around, but also a fun project. Thanks to the team at Brand New School for being cool-headed and poised in an increasingly demanding industry. These are the frames I designed at Brand New School.

Oh, and it had to span over six different languages. The challenge was to remain very simple and culturally non-specific when communicating the playful ways to eat an Oreo.

The initial concept came from the efficiency of sketching ideas with just a sharpie on paper, something that happens a lot in the brainstorming world of art directing. What was specifically challenging for this project was the amount of illustration and content the script contained within a 30 second spot. Watching a hand draw something is not particularly interesting for 30 seconds, so we had to create a faster language that was somewhere in between drawing and cel animation. We ended up having the hand model draw specific objects within each moment, while everything else animated. Sometimes the drawing was much looser, and that line slowly animated and formed into a more specific shape. We wrestled with timing, sometimes taking a frame or two here and putting it there, just to make sure everything had just enough time to be understood.

Five years later, I had the great opportunity of working with Team Detroit in tying the final bow in a highly successful 5-year campaign. This campaign, Ford Dynasty, was timed with their annual Built Ford Tough Sales Event during football season. The challenge was to infuse their graphic language with the theme of football. I directed a team of about 15 artists, from designers, compositors, 2D/3D animators, storyboard artists, and producers. In the production phase, we designed 96 frames in 3 days. Since the trucks were cg, there was an intense amount of communication between 2D and 3D. Everyone was amazing and I'm glad to have worked with everyone. <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ae68c0a6cb79f84f124d666711817ddd58ce1b698261a1a56a1c55bc50615b63/F150_DYN_01_kw_o_o.jpg" data-mid="79148806" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ae68c0a6cb79f84f124d666711817ddd58ce1b698261a1a56a1c55bc50615b63/F150_DYN_01_kw_o_o.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e1350238969e09808f31a893f881359c7e638cee877580159bf4f7ee887b404f/F150_DYN_03_kw_o_o.jpg" data-mid="79148808" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e1350238969e09808f31a893f881359c7e638cee877580159bf4f7ee887b404f/F150_DYN_03_kw_o_o.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/84ff481a854a61e1df64572d562b9fbbca5aee4774ebe16dedbc34239d9870f3/F150_DYN_02_kw_o_o.jpg" data-mid="79148807" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/84ff481a854a61e1df64572d562b9fbbca5aee4774ebe16dedbc34239d9870f3/F150_DYN_02_kw_o_o.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1eb303833285a7dc18c29b531eb2e834f05b9300cbe689458fd6d7de439221fb/F150_DYN_05_kw_o_o.jpg" data-mid="79148810" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1eb303833285a7dc18c29b531eb2e834f05b9300cbe689458fd6d7de439221fb/F150_DYN_05_kw_o_o.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dad750ebe9da8e89f9b167d1442e8560ec706c14a1b2bbd1e74ce9cf3c6bccd9/F150_DYN_04_kw_o_o.jpg" data-mid="79148809" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dad750ebe9da8e89f9b167d1442e8560ec706c14a1b2bbd1e74ce9cf3c6bccd9/F150_DYN_04_kw_o_o.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ca98af323dd1a111f08f2a31efcd7881eda48ebe91191be9030e53631a47f7cf/F150_DYN_06_kw_o_o.jpg" data-mid="79148811" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ca98af323dd1a111f08f2a31efcd7881eda48ebe91191be9030e53631a47f7cf/F150_DYN_06_kw_o_o.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3151e7a2a48539c99cf1199d0117b247d04a1e735ce451424c90c2a44b66b79b/F150_DYN_07_kw_o_o.jpg" data-mid="79148812" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3151e7a2a48539c99cf1199d0117b247d04a1e735ce451424c90c2a44b66b79b/F150_DYN_07_kw_o_o.jpg" /> Credits Creative Director Jonathan Notaro Art Director Kris Wong CG Supervisor Marcus Stokes Producer Steiner Kierce Johnna MaCarthur DesignKris WongDavid ChenWakako IchinoseSakona KongBrandon Lee SmithAaron MauerAndres Rivera StoryboardsKris WongWill RosadoMax Forward 2D Animation &amp;CompositingScott UyeshimaPhil GuthrieBrian DoKen QuemuelKenny CeronNhi VoUgo Nonis 3D AnimationMike CahillScott UyeshimaKen QuemuelMarcus StokesBilly MaloneyGarrett O-Neal LightingBilly MaloneyDanka ChiangVal Sinlao https://kriswong.com/Arrow-Security Wed, 15 Apr 2015 15:37:58 +0000 Kris Wong | Portfolio https://kriswong.com/Arrow-Security I worked with Flavor in Los Angeles to design on a spot for Arrow Security.

I did not work on the animation, but you can check it out on the flavor website here. <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/905c7415b3d7255457d2b1cdc2ddcf3f2e61e298db6ee14318e46fd4dec4e6fa/kw_Arrow03.jpg" data-mid="79148803" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/905c7415b3d7255457d2b1cdc2ddcf3f2e61e298db6ee14318e46fd4dec4e6fa/kw_Arrow03.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4d07f330c6ca5d3f44df8adbba186f100aba5651d64d5d2b524ce4f2b5423464/kw_Arrow02.jpg" data-mid="79148802" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4d07f330c6ca5d3f44df8adbba186f100aba5651d64d5d2b524ce4f2b5423464/kw_Arrow02.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f76b4e730b635da351e86c6af9d7b5b05661f5c2c5418bff7108372a7cddf733/kw_Arrow01.jpg" data-mid="79148801" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f76b4e730b635da351e86c6af9d7b5b05661f5c2c5418bff7108372a7cddf733/kw_Arrow01.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d6911db3cd7de7d33a894aeda9daf0e07d4c83005eac1823e9459d97ceb01121/kw_Arrow05.jpg" data-mid="79148805" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d6911db3cd7de7d33a894aeda9daf0e07d4c83005eac1823e9459d97ceb01121/kw_Arrow05.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1f3811a59ed3ef1a50501665b1d87e755b5128eb9126f712a36f4cca5319c3ce/kw_Arrow04.jpg" data-mid="79148804" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1f3811a59ed3ef1a50501665b1d87e755b5128eb9126f712a36f4cca5319c3ce/kw_Arrow04.jpg" /> https://kriswong.com/Fish-Series Tue, 17 Feb 2015 21:27:26 +0000 Kris Wong | Portfolio https://kriswong.com/Fish-Series <img width="600" height="600" width_o="600" height_o="600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/28cae945070ee0bda57d547b7939a1af05bb640e87398b56e5ff8413d3e027b4/fishball_kriswong_1.gif" data-mid="79148813" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/600/i/28cae945070ee0bda57d547b7939a1af05bb640e87398b56e5ff8413d3e027b4/fishball_kriswong_1.gif" /> <img width="500" height="500" width_o="500" height_o="500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4b44975aadea880b25c5c4ec5689d75163011451296eb97818b93c7f59b2d396/roi-sm.gif" data-mid="79148814" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/500/i/4b44975aadea880b25c5c4ec5689d75163011451296eb97818b93c7f59b2d396/roi-sm.gif" /> https://kriswong.com/Nike-SB-Free Fri, 30 Jan 2015 03:54:48 +0000 Kris Wong | Portfolio https://kriswong.com/Nike-SB-Free Nike SB Free As a kid growing up skating and surfing, it was a dream come true to work on a skateboarding commercial for Nike. And not just any skating shoe, but the first free sole skateboarding shoe ever made. And not just any skaters, Sean Malto and Shane O'Neill are about the most naturally talented pro skaters out there. The sets were built out practically and both Sean and Shane did multiple takes with and without the shoes. The building of the shoe was designed carefully so that it accentuated specific details of the shoe without being grounded in its material reality. Art directed and designed at Brand New School. https://kriswong.com/Ziploc-Fresh-180 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 22:29:02 +0000 Kris Wong | Portfolio https://kriswong.com/Ziploc-Fresh-180 <img width="1920" height="1000" width_o="1920" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8a48b2236670ceefb2fee279c536914443e560e550b54d75348e3b3d0b180a7c/kriswong_ziploc-kitchen-character_o_6_o.png" data-mid="79148818" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8a48b2236670ceefb2fee279c536914443e560e550b54d75348e3b3d0b180a7c/kriswong_ziploc-kitchen-character_o_6_o.png" /> Energy BBDO Chicago came to us with a new campaign that called moms to action to challenge them to a number of 'Feats of Fresh', which were small little tips and tasks to help improve organization and quality of life in the household. The two we focused on as animated spots were about eating more healthy foods to weigh less, and getting a friend to help clean out your closet. <img width="1200" height="589" width_o="1200" height_o="589" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ac1ae3dde872cc0778e3d7900bce56e644768918e675d6bfbb4b5d1410132b90/kriswong_ziploc-closet-characters02_o.png" data-mid="79148820" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ac1ae3dde872cc0778e3d7900bce56e644768918e675d6bfbb4b5d1410132b90/kriswong_ziploc-closet-characters02_o.png" /> In the initial pitch, I worked with 4 designers remotely from around the world. Evelyn Bundur from Bucharest, Romania, Bambino Monkey from Madrid, Spain, Sol Linero from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Rob Modini in San Fransisco, CA. Such huge time zones required very concise, clear direction on my part, and thankfully everyone was very good at english and being available on Skype. <img width="1942" height="1092" width_o="1942" height_o="1092" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5bbd52fa0b53296abd8f339fcd688d0c726f724151fd8e1261f42adb34963ddf/Ziploc_food_110413_o.jpg" data-mid="79148823" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5bbd52fa0b53296abd8f339fcd688d0c726f724151fd8e1261f42adb34963ddf/Ziploc_food_110413_o.jpg" /><img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cd271f9c74871aef80e2b73ba140fa795883550e4d868d6f5f023b09133959c0/Ziploc_Characters_Kitchen_o_o.jpg" data-mid="79148822" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cd271f9c74871aef80e2b73ba140fa795883550e4d868d6f5f023b09133959c0/Ziploc_Characters_Kitchen_o_o.jpg" /><img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f2c56d815f98bf06690c900ff5c6c1bc0e0550d465b2d87a948b2f2c8065f1d6/Ziploc_Characters_Closet_o_o.jpg" data-mid="79148821" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f2c56d815f98bf06690c900ff5c6c1bc0e0550d465b2d87a948b2f2c8065f1d6/Ziploc_Characters_Closet_o_o.jpg" /> <img width="800" height="527" width_o="800" height_o="527" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f5d32fe4e50c513342e0f263490adb146dfe60a9a98e63c29f481ba3d7a6ccb9/kriswong_ziploc-3dcharacters_960_o.gif" data-mid="79148824" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/800/i/f5d32fe4e50c513342e0f263490adb146dfe60a9a98e63c29f481ba3d7a6ccb9/kriswong_ziploc-3dcharacters_960_o.gif" /> We decided to model, rig, and animate the characters in 3D which gave a very unique look to their movement and form. The 3D team really took the animation style to another level, one which was something they ran with and enjoyed creating. Letting people run with ideas is extremely important, regardless of direction. You get back work that you can clearly see their level of passion, and being surrounded by that environment is much more stimulating than trying to control everything along the way.
