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.
