UNSATISFYING

Summer 2016, we created a series of animations about the little frustrations of everyday life. Our inspiration came from those visually pleasurable “most satisfying videos” which have gone viral. We decided to do the exact opposite. So we created a video showing all those “not so bad, but still!” moments that make us all grind our teeth and clench our fists. We entitled it “Unsatisfying”, in reference to the Satisfying supercuts.
The slightly retro design and warm colors contrast with the annoying situations to highlight the spectator’s frustration.

“Unsatisfying” was highly successful, winning a Vimeo Staff Pick and a Motion Award. It also inspired two further projects – Happy Loops for Dacia and a Christmas animation for The New York Times.
