GOOD KARMA BY THE PINT

NEW YORK BLOOD CENTER

GOOD KARMA

01 — THE FILM

Building something unique for a good cause is truly rewarding. The film unfolds on a warm, sunny evening beneath a serene blue sky dotted with a few clouds. The gentle sunlight captures the warmth of our message, beautifully complementing the heartfelt jingle that guides our story.

Adopting a charming Claymation style reminiscent of classic stop-motion animation, each character was meticulously designed to embody the charm of clay figures, adding a unique, handmade quality to the film. By blending modern CGI techniques with the timeless appeal of stop-motion aesthetics, we crafted an immersive world that deeply resonated with global audiences. This project not only tested our creative and technical skills but also highlighted the transformative power of storytelling in inspiring positive societal change.

02 — THE STORY

“One of the defining features of the project is its heartfelt narrative and endearing jingle, ‘Good karma by the pint!’”

“Crafted with a catchy melody, meaningful lyrics, and captivating characters, the story effectively reinforces the positive impact of donating blood.”

“Central to our mission was inclusivity and representation. We portrayed a diverse range of ethnicities and identities respectfully to meaningfully reflect our broad audience.”

“We aimed to create a cohesive and impactful storytelling experience that engaged and motivated our audience while maintaining good vibes.”

“This project highlighted our creative and technical abilities and showed how storytelling can motivate action and lead to significant change.”

03 — BEHIND THE SCENES

The biggest challenge on our end was creating all the various assets. With over 40 characters, each one underwent numerous stages—from concept and modeling to look development—before they could be animated. This process ensured that each character authentically reflected their unique traits and moved in a way that resonated with their personalities.

In addition to the animation, the campaign included over 30 carefully crafted still images. These images ranged from key narrative moments to new compositions featuring alternative characters and backgrounds. Each image preserved the film's aesthetic continuity while capturing significant aspects of daily life, such as holidays and seasons, to highlight the ongoing importance of blood donation, which can be given multiple times per year.
