The collaborative bunch at Girl&Bear (VCCP's production arm) approached Seed to develop, design and direct "a few" commercials for Sage, the accounting, financial, HR and payroll tech firm.  A few turned out to be a 15 spot campaign that needed to be on air around the world in 2 1/2 months.   Seed stepped up and shot live action and integrated lovely animation for this insightful, first-person campaign. 

Yelp’s first campaign since 2016 celebrates restaurants’ ability to ‘Turn the Tables’ in this fun 60 second film. It features three restaurateurs who managed to turn the unpleasantness of the pandemic into positive, and sometimes selfless, situations - by giving food out to local people and offering opportunities to chefs who were struggling to get by. Seed jumped in once they had chosen to lead with 3 of the most inspiring stories, featuring Ketsuda, Glen and Ann. Besides the personalities of these people, we also had rich visual pickings from each of their restaurants. They created a miniature style environment, with larger than life characters, and a device based on the ‘Turn the Tables’ theme where empty cafes turned into thriving spaces. A big shout out to the team at Yelp for giving Seed the opportunity to visually develop this from scratch. It's a treat to have such an enthusiastic client willing to creatively explore.

To mark World Down Syndrome Day on March 21st, intellectual disability charity L’Arche debuted a teaser for a new short film, entitled ‘Freebird’. Partnering with Canadian musician Jordan Hart and award-winning animation studio Tonic DNA and their director Joe Bluhm,  the charity produced a beautiful film that challenged the misconceptions surrounding Down Syndrome. The plot follows the coming-of-age story of a boy with Down syndrome who learns to navigate the world with a loving mother, an absent father, a classroom bully, and a life-long crush. Now, as the full four-minute film launches, we witness 45 years of life flash by in just a few short minutes. Not that it moves too fast to leave an impact - quite the opposite, as a combination of stunning animation and soulful storytelling communicates the quintessentially human story at the heart of this campaign.

“Unbreakable” is the story of Barbara the Bunny, an adorable stuffy with a persistent cough.  Quality control at the tool factor labels her defective and so her search for treatment begins. She goes from shop to shop to no avail, until she discovers a loose string of yarn that takes her on a magical journey across town and into the arms of a toy repair shop owner.  Roof Studio imagined Barbara the Bunny’s world to be this magical place you could only wish to be immersed in. Each frame was crafted with a level of artistry and detail that can be appreciated as a standalone piece of art.
