Gentleman Scholar Animates Beautifully Eclectic Tribute to the World Cup

With the 2018 World Cup now in full swing, US-based creative production company Gentleman Scholar has crafted an animated tribute, celebrating a handful of different players and their nations.

"Using the ball to transition us from scene to scene, our talented team of designers, animators and art directors wanted to play off the diverse nature of the tournament by cycling through different styles and techniques to tell a simple but charming story," explain creative directors William Campbell, Will Johnson  and Chace Hartman.

The company dedicates its original piece not just to the event itself, but also to the unifying nature of this sport in general. "The World Cup is a perfect reminder that we are one world brought together to witness the spectacle of first-class soccer playing," they add. "Play hard, play fair and may the best team win!"
