The Gut Stuff
Making Gut Health Digestible
A CGI animated film and series of quirky digital assets for The Gut Stuff, an online wellness platform.
In the film, bright pink balloons are used as a metaphor for various topics related to gut health. Combined with provocative copy and comical sound design, the resulting video is a playful and no-nonsense approach to the somewhat sensitive subject of intestinal health.
In 2018, the film received a One Show Gold Pencil, D&AD Yellow Pencil, Clio Silver Award and Brand Film Festival Bronze, as well as being a Design Week Winner in the moving image category. The project was also featured in Creative Review.
My Role
