The Mill created a series of motion graphic animations for Adidas' 'There Will Be Haters' campaign, which features star footballers Karim Benzema, David Alaba, Arjen Robben and Diego Costa.
The online and instagram film, created by Iris Worldwide and directed by Lucy Tcherniak out of Asylum, introduces the new 2015 Adidas football boots collection, and touches on the nature of footballing fans and media attention.
Mill+ creative director Carl Addy designed each of the graphic icons, giving them a bold simplicity that aids them in standing out from the live action footage. The After Effects team then animated each of these icons, maintaining the simple graphic style. Each graphic was reduced to between three and five frame loops, much like an animated GIF.
