Onwards
Onwards is a great new short film directed by James Jarvis and Richard Kenworthy for Nike. It features one of Jarvis’s signature characters running through an ever-changing landscape, starting off deceptively simply. But keep watching… I really don’t want to say anything more than that. Just take a look and enjoy! It’s a really nice example of tightly crafted film-making with wonderful animation from Richard Kenworthy.
Update: More info on the film from James Jarvis’ blog here.

that was one of the best “commercials” I’ve seen in a long while.

Awesome, awesome, awesome! Love the whole evolution of the piece, the negative / positive, and the animation is flawless! Perfect soundtrack too.

Really really great.I allready saw this at this years Pictopia in Berlin where James had a presentation. He is a really humble guy, who repeatedly mentioned that he may not be great as a designer, but he probably is the fastest working designer in the UK. He backed this up by showing his personal running best times, which were quite impressive actually.

I hadn’t realized that Richard was a Shynola guy. That makes sense. This spot really made my day!
