People at the heart

Content Creatures worked with Climate Outreach to develop an animation style for a promotional video for their 2020 Christmas appeal.

Climate Outreach is a charity focused on building a social mandate for climate action: a world where a majority of the population supports the changes required to address climate change. The events of 2020 gave them an opportunity to explore new ways of communicating online, and they turned to animated promotional videos as a way to appeal for donations and promote their work on a UN climate change paper, UNEP.



Time and budget were limited, but the client’s ambition was not. They wanted character animation that put people at the heart of effecting change. For such an important cause, we pulled out the stops and worked to develop an impactful, branded style that incorporated bold text, simple character design and engaging motion graphic animation.



We worked closely with the Climate Outreach team to hone the script, and ensure the film was engaging, but factual. Our copywriting team struck a balance between substance, style and duration. The excellent Alexia Kombou, graciously added her voice to the final scripts.



As well as the charity campaign films, we also provided short looping animations for use on the UNEP microsite
