Furry monsters cuddling, welcoming the viewer to a brand new series of MTV idents. “Close & Caring“ conveys a look and feel that equals the warmth and feeling of a hug, as simple as holding hands or sinking under your duvet.
We created the cute little beasts, developed the story concept, built the vignettes, covered the overall production and post-production and created the print templates.
