For the last three months, AW has been working on a presentation film about Algeria, which is to be shown in the Algerian Pavillion on the World Expo 2012 in Yeosu, Korea. AW made storyboards, designs, backgrounds, and animation of the two storytellers: an old fisherman and his granddaughter. The film was then coloured by Hans Buying at Comic House, and composited at Metropolis Films.

AW also made a large (43 m!) panoramic illustration for the Belgium Pavillion, on the World Expo 2012 in Yeosu, Korea. The panel shows the North Sea beach in Belgium, with a variety of Belgian landmarks like the Seafront museum and the Heist Lighthouse.
