ReachOut Australia – Persona Videos & Comics for Young Mob
We worked with ReachOut Australia to write, direct and produce 3 x 60 sec animated videos based on three unique personas. The videos explored some of the challenges young people face, encouraging them to reach out to their friends, family, and the ReachOut online community for support.
Our work consisted of scripting, storyboarding, character design, environment design, animating and compositing, sound mixing, mastering, and title cards. The full gamut!
Character Development
We also worked with a focus group of First Nations students to write, design and produce 2 x comic strips about Helping Your Mob and Overcoming Shame.
