Inspiring a young audience

We partnered with Comic Relief to produce a vibrant, character-led animation for Red Nose Day, encouraging young people to “Do Something Funny for Money.” Using a mixed-media approach, we blended animation, case-study footage, and photography to showcase the positive impact of fundraising. Inspired by young volunteers Sami and Rafi, we brought their stories to life with playful illustrations and authentic voiceovers, creating a fun, relatable animation that motivates young people to take part.

Bringing Real Stories to Life

To inspire action, we focused on storytelling that feels personal and empowering. Sami and Rafi guide the narrative, sharing real-life examples of how Comic Relief donations have transformed lives around the world. From physiotherapy in Kenya to youth support in the UK, we used a mix of animated characters, original voiceovers, and real photography to create an emotional connection. The result is an engaging animation that celebrates generosity and motivates young viewers to take part.
