A gorgeous animated illustration series for the film’s international social campaign

20th Century Studios gave us this challenge for the film Murder on the Orient Express: Build a social content series for its global social accounts that creates a sense of wonder and mystery. Oh, and make the visuals from scratch using only the film’s color scheme. Luckily, we love a good challenge almost as much as we love a great murder mystery. What did we do? We crafted animated illustrations with minimal text that invited people to play detective in a world of illusions.

The art of deception

Each of our 14 illustrations featured a different main character with iconic props and intriguing hidden references. To find them all, you need a keen eye like Detective Poirot’s. (Can you spot the knife?)
