About This Project
NL teamed up with McGarryBowen to re-develop Crayola’s cast of crayon characters, and brought them to life in this charmingly chaotic :30 spot! Each character was infused with fun, identifying features as well as unique and endearing personalities for their animated debut.
The brand’s initiative with these new characters also involved NL creating additional Outtake animations for web, and a package of still frames of each character to be used cross-platform.
