Yankee Gal – Celine Desrumaux, Gary Levesque, Antoine Perez & Francois Pons

A pilots last dance as he plummets towards his death. Stylish and powerful.

We had an ace ‘Inspiration Day’ a couple of weeks ago at work, where we all collected a load of inspiring shortfilms, idents, advert etc to show the rest of the team. This was my favourite of the day, chosen by Gareth Bell. It’s another Supinfocom piece and has scooped a myriad of well deserved awards over the past two years.
