Sehsucht: Paper World + Making Of

Directed by Hans Christoph Schultheiss for Sehsucht: Paper World. Christoph is a creative director and illustrator with roots in graphic design and classic animation. Hans has designed and directed spots for clients like Lamborghini, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and Sony that have been awarded at ADC, VDW, Red Dot, New York Festivals and others.

Follow the paper plane into Sehsucht’s latest origami-style world of helping hands and improved communities. We produced the 30 sec. TVC “Paper” in full CGI for Deutsche Fernseh Lotterie, a charitable lottery, and their agency Zum Goldenen Hirschen, all three companies from Hamburg/Germany. Director Hans-Christoph Schultheiss and his team walked the tightrope between reduction and complexity, aiming to create the characters as human as possible but with a realistically foldable look that carries the complex textures of paper.

Watch a detailed Making-of from concept to completion.
