Overview

Tofik RUN is a mobile runner game for the Tofik juice and tea brand, made for children aged 5 to 13. For the game I made the video around it: a trailer that dives inside the bottle, four colour storyboards, end cards, loops for outdoor screens, a 25-second ad and test scenes.

Tofik RUN in one cut, 87 seconds, silent: the film, the trailer, the storyboards, the ad, the tests and the screen loops. “The Rescue of Forest Dawn”: script and production, Miras.
01 · Film

“The Rescue of Forest Dawn”

The beetle wrecks the village and Tofik carries the villagers out. Script and production: Miras.

Miras wrote and produced the series’ first film, “The Rescue of Forest Dawn”, from the package I assembled: Tofik’s character sheets, each accepted one by one, and stills of the nine worlds. After my acceptance the film went onto tofikrun.kz.
