Only human

This year’s D&AD Festival was a joyful reminder of what an inspiring network of creatives we’re among, and how real-life connections and emotional storytelling are at the core of our industry’s most impactful work. Whether made by hand or in collaboration with AI, it’s all about the power to connect and emote with the audience.

This edition of the Animailer brings together some of our favourite authentic, relatable and heartwarming stories we’ve had the pleasure of sharing with our community.

First up, our latest piece for Procreate Dreams (above) is a nostalgic nod to our inner child that always wanted to be an astronaut.

Finding charm in the little details, the new TV ad we made with Farewill illustrates the importance of empathy and human connection during difficult times.

A collaboration of creatives forces, this animation for Royal Mail tells the story of how people coming together can help change the world.

What does it take to keep the fire burning? Our short film for WeTransfer explores the dangers in distraction and the moments of tenderness that life can bring.

In collaboration with AIDS charity NAM aidsmap, we made this film to help change attitudes and make a difference to the lives of people with HIV.

If you’re curious about how animation could help your brand connect with people, we’d love to chat about it. Get in touch on [email protected].
