ANIMATION | video production and video marketing

We produce short explainer videos to help you convey an abstract idea, or share subjects that are harder to film with live action video.

FIRST FUEL COMMERCIAL (ICE Award winner!)

Client: Efficiency Nova Scotia

This short 30 second animated commercial won an ICE award for creative excellence in Atlantic Canadian marketing. Katie at Efficiency Nova Scotia was putting together the Annual Report, and she was finding very encouraging things. Energy efficiency was actually competing with Nova Scotia’s other fuel sources. Efficiency, in effect, was becoming a fuel source. And now we need to bang the drum: let’s not only consider efficiency a fuel, let’s make it our primary fuel!

WHAT IS ENERGY EFFICIENCY?

Client: Efficiency Nova Scotia

Energy efficiency is a tough concept to make tangible. How do you quantify the value of something you don’t use? To support Efficiency Nova Scotia's annual report, we created a short explainer animation to help Nova Scotians appreciate the benefits derived from the commitment to being more energy efficient.

Client: Canada Revenue Agency

Compliance in tax filing is not likely to feature in a top 10 of “most glamorous jobs”, but presenting the search for wrongdoing as a detective story created intrigue and curiosity. We built this explainer animation video by using the actual voice of a real compliance officer from the CRA in her first starring role as a voiceover narrator!

Client: Canada Mortgage Housing Corporation

There are many challenges that come with being a newcomer to Canada, and a central one is finding a great place to live. There are so many factors to consider for comfort, safety and accessibility. The Canadian Mortgage and Housing Association wants to take the “scary” out of finding the perfect spot for any new Canadian, and was able to do it with the help of this animated explainer video.

VOLUNTEER JOURNEY

Client: CUSO International

We worked with Sean Kelly at Cuso International for a couple of years, creating powerful stories of community projects that have a direct benefit on the lives of people in less privileged communities. For this project, the stakes were raised – to create a scripted animation that would act as a new PSA and help educate potential volunteers about how to get involved.

BRIGHT BUSINESS AWARDS: ROCHELLE OWEN

Client: Efficiency Nova Scotia

This simple live action + motion graphics text helped us created a video to celebrate an award winner. Efficiency Nova Scotia celebrates innovators and leaders in energy efficiency at the Bright Business Awards. This year’s Leadership Award went to Rochelle Owen. A 25-year sustainability black-belt, Rochelle has formed the Dalhousie Energy Committee, enlisted volunteers, students and thesis-writers, and transformed the landscape of two campuses, for the greener!

C0-GENERATION ANIMATION

Client: Efficiency Nova Scotia

Errol and Charles can help your business save energy and save money. The sources of those savings might surprise you. For many business owners, they just need someone to point to where they should look — and that’s where Efficiency Nova Scotia steps in. They wanted businesses to know that no operations are “too unique” to create significant energy savings.
