To sell more RC cars to toy stores across China (as well as the end consumer — kids!), I wrote, directed, and animated both a TVC and a marketing video to explain the toy's features. The animation studio was BlueArc, but the rights to toy production and sales had been acquired by our company, Appletoon.

Unfortunately, the video does not have subtitles, but below the videos, I've included the original script for both videos, which I wrote.

Here's the TVC by itself.

‍

And here's the video we used to acquire wholesale orders from toy shops.

The beginning of the video shows the TVC again. Skip past that to see the rest of the content.

‍

And here is the script that was written for both videos.
