Even though it sometimes feels like a long time has passed since the pandemic, COVID-19 is still impacting lives around the world in various ways. Not only medically: social distancing has had many consequences. One of the more unfortunate ones was university students around the world, who paid full tuition fees and expected a regular study course, but instead got only distant learning (if at all). These days a group claim is being organized in the UK exactly on that topic, and its organizers turned to us to create a video to help spread the message.
The challenge: Convincing the audience to participate
The object of the video was to let students from all over the UK know they might deserve compensation, and convince them that via this particular group claim, they can get it with zero hassle and zero cost. In other words, we had to tackle the heavy and alienating subject of filing a lawsuit in a way that would be engaging for young people. An additional challenge was how to appeal to a very wide audience in terms of gender and ethnicity - we don’t want to leave anyone out!
Luckily, we found one elegant solution which tackled both of these issues.
The solution: Animal characters as substitutes for people
We needed a leading character to represent the students, and we needed it to somehow be both male and female and of various different cultural backgrounds… Or maybe, not both but neither? Instead of human students, we ended up choosing an otter as our main character (and several other animals as supporting characters). It’s cute, it’s highly relatable, and it can represent anyone, anywhere.
Conclusion: A sweet, fun video that does the job
Placing our otter in human-like situations resulted in some very sweet moments, from seeing it in a zoom conference to having it pose as a lawyer in front of the court. The concept came to life with our team’s wonderful illustrations and animation, and we’re pleased to say the client loved the final video too! We wish them luck with their group claim and hope everyone gets the compensation they deserve.
This case study is fantastic! I love how animation videos can simplify complex ideas and really motivate viewers to take action. It reminded me of my last trip—navigating the Gulf Air Heathrow terminal felt a lot easier thanks to clear signage and helpful visuals, which is exactly what good animation does for your audience. Using engaging visuals to guide people step by step makes a huge difference, whether it’s in marketing or airport navigation. I’ll definitely try some of these animation strategies in my next project—such practical insights!
This is a great example of how animation can simplify complex, even intimidating topics and make them relatable for a younger audience. Using animal characters was a smart creative choice—it removes barriers around identity while keeping the message engaging and memorable. For students who faced challenges during remote learning and are now balancing claims, studies, and deadlines, support like an online class help service can also ease the pressure by helping them stay academically on track while they focus on important issues like this.
Volaris Airlines operates from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The Volaris Terminal LAX provides passengers with convenient check-in counters, efficient security screening, and easy access to boarding gates. Travelers can also enjoy dining, shopping, and comfortable waiting areas for a smooth travel experience.
This was such an interesting read! I have been learning how storytelling through visuals can really engage an audience just like in self publishing, where connecting with readers is everything. I’m inspired to try using animation to promote my own book ideas now.
