RNLI Respect the Water

CLIENT: RNLI

Respect the water

I was commissioned to design and animate a series of small videos for a campaign of ‘Respect the Water’ for the RNLI targeting 11-16 year olds. (These were also combined into one big video.) Using simple animation style and a bit of humour we worked together to get the message across of being careful of the sea. We created a character out of the sea called ‘Prince Poseidon’ who was young, naive and playful. Most importantly he was a character you couldn’t trust fully, you have to respect and be wary. I came up with multiple designs for the character from looking playful to scary however the focus groups responded most to the simplified line drawings.

Character design, titles and animation I created for a campaign for the RNLI charity. Meet Prince Poseidon... Commissioning Agency: Good Agency Voice over arranged and recorded by agency who commissioned me.
