THE PROJECT | THE BRIEF
In this Ident, we wanted to mix live-action with cel animation and a 2D animated sequence.
The goal was to be quirky and bizarre while talking about something that matters to the planet. In this case, it is about cleaning the oceans.
In a quirky and humoristic way, Oh Ducky Boy delivers a conversation about human complexity when it comes to responsibility and denial. Using live action and animation in a funky, ironic and self-absorbed music video style, it takes the audience on a journey through our waste and plastic contamination of the oceans and how we contribute to the pollution, are aware of the damage and still reject and deny responsibility. Oh Ducky Boy…Are we ever gonna learn?
THE CHALLENGE
Producing Quirky and Bizarre content and keeping quality and pro-style can be challenging. We decided to free ourselves by creating something out of the box. Either to start conversations or just to laugh.
