They only just graduated from VFS Digital Design this past December, and Kasey Lum and Jorge R. Canedo Estrada (aka Jr.canest) have already had a hand in a high-profile project for Google.

Today, Google launched a series of videos explaining its Google Voice service. Kasey and Jorge were responsible for creating the overview video we’ve embedded below – you know, the big one that introduces everything Google Voice is about.

Huge congratulations, guys!

Here’s what Jorge had to tell us about the project this morning:

They saw some videos we made, including [an infographic created at by Jorge, Kasey, Marisa Torres, Alexander Badr, and Vincent Lui] Growing Up, and months ago they emailed me to see if I was able to work with them for an animated video explaining what Google Voice is. We stayed in touch until it became official that I was the one that was going to do it. I wanted to add something to the video so I immediately thought of my good friend Kasey Lum, who is an amazing designer and we had worked together before and it was great. So I told him about the project and he jumped in.

It took about a month. They sent us the first script and we conceptualize the whole thing, different storyboards, and finally started working in the animation and so on… I was in Mexico, Kasey in Canada, and everything was via the internet, including the relationship with Google.
