x company on cbc

overview

The creators of the CBC show X Company asked 10 artists to interpret a scene from each of the show’s ten episodes. Each artist received a storyboard to work from, without context or any glimpse of what the live action was like. We were asked to interpret the storyboards however we wanted to, in our own style. The resulting collection of animations was nominated for a Canadian Screen Award in 2017.

The scene appeared, along with a Behind the Scenes video, on the CBC X Company website the day before the episode (Season 2, Episode 3) went on air.
