The Outsiders

We were approached by Nearpod to create an education film of the 1967 Novel by S.E. Hinton. The challenge? Teenagers studying the book in classrooms today has to find it relatable. New interpretations of familiar characters and a somewhat completely left-field style was our approach to breath new life into the old classic. The final film is just under the three minute mark, but continue scrolling for the director’s cut to see the essence of it. STYLISTIC APPROACH Bold, striking colours and consistent line work were used in our approach. Using strokes to add detail and bring personality into the characters and surrounding objects. Okay, now that you get the jist of it, we’ve compiled some of our favourite frames and loops for you.
