‘Yasashi’ is the Japanese word for ‘simple’. And just as simple is the concept of our tea. Why? “Because for our Yasashi Teas, we simply select only the finest natural ingredients of certified organic quality.”
The spot presented here for the organic tea YASASHI was produced by Warsaw-based design studio ABRA c/o ANALOG / DIGITAL. Abra is a creative, networked animation boutique founded in Warsaw by the two friends Bartek Kalinowski and Rafal Wozniak.
“From the moment we laid eyes on this brief, we knew exactly who to recommend – it had ABRA written all over it! Fresh and colorful ingredients flying around in perfectly choreographed loops – wonderfully mesmerizing! Abra delivered over a 100 formats of animations and stills for the Yasashi Tea product launch, which is now live across Germany with products available in stores.
Special thanks to @Kerstin Mende for thinking of us, to Saint Brand for developing the concept and ensuring a seamless workflow, and of course, to ABRA for the creative input, meticulous digital craftsmanship and dedication throughout the entire production. Last but not least, thanks to Giovanni for the soothing sound design!” ANALOG / DIGITAL.
