Challenge
Marking a 70-year milestone required more than a standard promotional film. The animation had to capture the scale and richness of the company's history in a way that felt personal, authentic and worthy of the occasion.

Solution
In collaboration with film studio Mishka, I co-developed the full concept and script, then created a several-minute stop-motion style animation using archival photographs scanned from the company's own library. I handled the full animation, post-production and sound design. The result was a handcrafted, emotionally resonant tribute to everything Jelcz had built over fifty years.
