Whether for a campaign, school, public awareness, or employee training, video can express complicated ideas in an engaging and creative way. People tend to recall information better when it’s presented as a story. With an emphasis on visuals and audio, animated videos make learning fun and accessible for any age.

California Faculty Association
This video was produced quickly and inexpensively to inspire students, teachers, and faculty of the California State University (CSU) system to protest the rise in tuition and drop in teacher salaries. With simple line drawings and efficient animation techniques, we were able to get the word out for people to join a demonstration in Sacramento. The CSU also hired us to make an animation (Ready to Strike) encouraging viewers to join the fight to raise faculty salaries.
