In the first creative meetings held between Worker Studio and our partner in crime on this venture, Postmodern Company, we immediately latched on to the classic UPA style of animation that had influenced all of us growing up. The minimal, but bold shapes and colors seen throughout in character and backgrounds, give the animation an impactful, yet fun and engaging soul. These adorable little folks, Mr. Blue, Ms. Yellow, Mr. Orange, Ms. Green and Mr. Red all had to have distinct personalities in this animated allegory of wealth creation. 

What is poverty and how is real wealth created was the message that Speakeasy Ideas needed to convey, and there was no better stage than a deserted tropical island for their drama to play out. Worker Studio handled all the animation, which was then handed off to Postmodern for integration with the live-action host and video program they crafted. This project provides the perfect example of how exciting the use of branded characters can be in enhancing viewer engagement.  

The animation showreel above was cut together by Worker Studio and does not include the live action sequences conceived, shot and produced by Postmodern. The 8 part educational video series is offered for sale at Speakeasy Ideas: ​http://speakeasyideas.com/video-courses
