Still from Stop the block depicting a stylised 2d sewer with nappies, cotton buds and fish bulging their way through a sewer pipe. The word Alert hangs over the top, like in a platform video game

Yorkshire Water

Agency

Jaywing

Jaywing asked us to create 'Stop the block' for Instagram stories to tie into an educational/raising awareness event taking place across key cities in Yorkshire. 

The brief was to engage the online community through a gamified animation, designing and animating a series of sequences that show an 8-bit style character winning or losing at collecting key items, before the items fall down various pipes from the kitchen to the loo.  

The aim was to create a sequence which would feel like game play, with a tap icon appearing to activate the next video in the Instagram story if pressed. 

Instagram story, gaming educational fun!
