World Food Organisation - Mask of Hope

Mask of Hope is a two part animated film I created for the World Food Organisation end of year appeal campaign.

Since the start of the global pandemic face masks have become a symbol of our times. The hand drawn animations on face mask are two story themed around hunger and conflict, depicting the harsh realities facing people in countries of conflict.

Each key frames are illustrated first and then animated frame by frame at 12 FPS to follow the hand drawn style.

Storyboards for both films are based on stock photos provided by WFP. They make up the key scenes which focused on the the harsh life children faced in countries of conflict. It was important that I portrayed their vulnerabilities with dignity.
