Grace Helmer, Jake Evans and Luiz Stockler are all illustrators and animators that we’ve featured on the site before, either as part of our 2012 Graduates or in our Introducing feature. This is the first time we’ve seen there names listed together on the credits of creative project through, as they’ve all collaborated on the animation for Powster’s director’s cut of Bombay Bicycle Club’s latest track Carry Me. The original video was an interactive number that you could manipulate on screen, but that’s no good on YouTube, so Grace and co were enlisted to add some animated punch to a beautifully-shot project under the guidance of expert animator Anna Ginsburg.
