The Brief

We were asked to challenge the hostile media narratives surrounding migrants and refugees by creating a campaign video that champions welcome, peace, and compassion during the Christmas season.

The Strategy We juxtaposed harsh reality with creative editing, blending newsreel footage with animation and aggressive sound effects. By designing a custom glitch aesthetic, we visually exposed and interrupted the harmful messaging frequently pushed by mainstream media.

 

What We Did

  • Creative Direction & Concept Development: Transformed the campaign’s core message of compassion into a powerful visual narrative.

  • Archive & Newsreel Curation: Sourced and selected impactful media footage to ground the video in real-world context.

  • Motion Graphics & Animation: Designed and integrated custom animated elements to layer over the footage.

  • Creative Video Editing: Combined disparate media styles into a cohesive, fast-paced campaign film.

  • Sound Design & Audio Effects: Engineered a gritty, immersive soundscape to elevate the tension and drive the edit.

  • VFX & Stylized Grading: Developed the custom “glitch” effect to visually represent and disrupt harmful media narratives.
