Working with Oatly, a brand known for their tongue-in-cheek marketing, Christa was given full creative freedom to craft a short video to promote their barista edition oat drink and bring the concept of ‘taste’ to life.
Infusing the film with her sense of humour and tactile cg animation, the story follows a self-assured character dumped for her coffee quirks. The challenge was telling a complete and funny story in under 10 seconds, and to do this, Christa modelled the main character in VR then adding her own hand-made textures and materials to craft a highly tactile feel.
Leaning into a vibrant nostalgic colour palette and retro patterns, Christa crafted the compact narrative in one location, letting the somewhat absurd storyline take centre stage.
