Project Brief

The Sidecar Museum needed an animated video to give visitors a more multimedia experience and to help them understand the story behind the origins of the invention of the wheel.

Results and ROI

“Your animation is great and was very well received. You did a fantastic job both from an historical and a technical point of view. I believe your film will be shown in many motor museum around the world and we will be working hard to get maximum exposure for it. I look forward to work with you again for new animations I have in mind regarding the invention of the main means of transport.”
