CTCP: Tell Your Story “Steven”
Direction, Design, 2D Animation, Unscripted
KAPWA worked with Nexus Studios and Mighty Nice to create a series of visceral, fluid and figurative animated films to portray the imperfect path towards quitting smoking, for good.
Artfully bringing to life three authentic, first hand accounts of quitting smoking, the supporting visuals capture the emotional journey of each individual, creating three distinct design languages.
Nexus director, and KAPWA founder Robertino Zambrano directed this campaign, with KAPWA leading concept development, pre-production and animatics, collaborating with our friends Mighty Nice in Sydney to execute the final animations. Sydney sound house Bamm Bamm Wolfgang produced an original score in collaboration with the director.
“We met, interviewed and got to know people from different walks of life with unique journeys of quitting. I revelled in the opportunity to present their journeys and voices in a creative, yet authentic way.”
