TOMS // The TOMS Story

Possibly the best explainer film I have watched. I can't imagine how much graft has gone into this.

Lease Plan

From Sebas and Clim. Visually very strong. Excellent motion.

The VO doesn't really suit, but other than that it's great.

ChildLine — First Step

YCN/Buck for Childline.

Powerful stuff. Strong subject matter, handled very well.

Gold Winner for best best Web Video at the Lovie Awards.

YCN Studio was commissioned by ChildLine to produce an animated video offering support to young victims of sexual abuse. Our response focussed on young people's difficulty with 'finding the words' to talk about their problems. We commissioned Buck Los Angeles through Friend London to cell-animate the piece, with music and sound design developed by Antfood.

Pop-up Pilcrow

I like these little animations by Brent Clouse of Atlanta, GA. They were created for a collaborative project organised by Animography.net. The criteria for animating each character is limited to four colours, within 25 seconds.

Animography.net is a webshop/typefoundry that provides motion designers, video-editors and others in the field of the moving image with animated typefaces.

A fine example of an explainer film. Finely crafted design and animation. Just enough human and humourous touches to make it work.
