Our Role
We bring to life LIVEKINDLY's selected stories, through setting up a strategized roadmap, that seeks to create a personalized series look, that aim to gain the attention of their audience with a unique style, while visually staying on brand.
We create concepts for the visuals, that carry an inspiring tone when telling each story.
Existing Brand References
We’ve loved to learn about all the people who had their hearts moved with these series. Knowing that our part of the produced stories contribute to this mission, which we share with our client, is a true gift.
Creative Strategy
The initial research started by learning what type of animation content has inspired LIVEKINDLY in the past and what was their priorities that will determine successful animated stories. We learned that to have a clear, minimalistic and concise approach is important to them. And most importantly, the series must have a creative approach with a heart.
Concepting and creating visual rules
- Keep a concise number of facts in each episode, in order to keep the audience engaged.
- Typography will be the driving constant visual key element of the message.
- The illustrations will support the script while evoking a sense of charisma and simplicity.
Goals
- Inspire self-reflection with positive actions regarding each topic.
- Distinction in the media marketplace.
- Move the audience hearts.
Opportunities
- Communicating hidden information about the animal products industry.
- Boost client’s social media engagements.
- Strength client’s purpose of spreading social awareness.
Art Direction Look & Feel
- Friendly style with a minimal level of detail for easy comprehension.
- Illustrations and typography carry a simplicity feel with a charming hand-drawn look.
- Avoid looking overly feminine and young as the target is a broad audience.
The Challenge
Since LIVEKINDLY’s main audience are non-vegans, these stories could be received with some objections and resistance. Primarily because this series will expose critical truthful scenarios regarding the animal products industry.
The Outcome
We constantly verify that the stories don’t get portrayed as biased from a vegan perspective. The tone needs to stay light, direct and engaging in order to be efficient, and through the transparency of the message, it will naturally tap into an emotional aspect.
The Execution
The Story
We facilitated the client with a technical guide for the scriptwriting, which helps them shape all stories ideas be visually friendly in regards to typography animation and not to go over the total time calculated for the video.
We kick off the conceptualizing stage with the delivery of each episode's script.
Illustrations that Tell a Story
The visual inspiration depends on each episode's message, to test them, we sketch each concept. Analyzing what will resonate and work best. Which get later on get designed and developed into the final animated illustrations.
The following slideshow represents each stage from the execution of the stories, prior to the sound work.
The Sound
After we select the music that fits the message, our Sound Architect enhances it in order to fit the journey and the emotions of the story.
Shortly after, the sound effects come in, so the complete audio and the visuals grow together to consolidate the story as a complete experience.
