Plamienok
A heartfelt stop-motion campaign created for Plamienok, a non-profit organization providing essential grief therapy for children and their families who have lost a loved one.
Due to the technical complexity of the stop-motion technique, the project was meticulously crafted over several months. The story follows the main character, a dog named Hav, on his mission to help children navigate their loss, encouraging viewers to contribute to this important cause. It was a project we were deeply honored to be a part of, combining intricate animation with a powerful and meaningful message.
Studio Smatana was responsible for the overall creative direction of the spot, as well as executing the frame-by-frame stop-motion animation that brought the characters and story to life.
