the virtual corporate birthday card introduces three little astronauts that deliver a happy birthday song. the orange ball represents the logo of "grey worldwide". since these guys have no mouth and look totally identical it was very interesting to make them sing and give them different personalities using only body animation. the animation was made on a request from grey to kw43.
