Launched in 1994, EURES is a European cooperation network of employment services, designed to facilitate the free movement of workers. NAV in collaboration with EURES wanted to drive more traffic to their job portal. Our task was to make a film that would spark the interest of potential job seekers who might consider working abroad. Instead of focusing on the job situation and the practicalities of the job portal, we chose to emphasize the excitement of traveling to other countries and how the journey and the experience of living abroad could feel unique and appealing.

Saetre Bisquits

Statens barnehus (translated: Government Children's Home) is a service for children and young people who may have been exposed to, or witnessed, violence or sexual abuse, and where there is a registered police report. The service is also available for adults with intellectual disabilities. Statens barnehus also provides advice and guidance to individuals and public bodies in anonymous cases that are unresolved. The overarching idea is based on the abuse of power, and the basis for sexual abuse and violence. The client, the Norwegian Police, wanted a film that would respect the gravity of the theme but convey it with a more light-hearted tone. Rather than trying to portray events such as violence and abuse in a naive or insensitive manner, the symbolism of a card game is used. The concept of "having good or weak cards at hand" is in this story a visual metaphor for something agonizing taking place between two individuals. With the visuals working in tandem with the voice-over, which is using a more straight-forward and practical vocabulary, we aimed for a nuanced presentation of this sensitive topic.

The Norwegian Police: The Children's House

This short explainer film was part of a series commissioned by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health during the COVID-19 pandemic. The brief was to convey information about the COVID-19 vaccination programme in a clear and easy to understand manner. At the time of production vast amounts of information regarding the vaccines were circulating in our society, which made it essential for the film's tone to come across as both reliable and friendly. We therefore opted for a warm and clear design language using a toned down color palette, effective use of white space and relatable characters portraying a cross-section of the Norwegian society. During the pandemic new information became increasingly available and NIPH needed us to come up with a concept and an animation rig that allowed us to quickly produce new films in order to relay important information to the public. This is why we came up with the set box concept which not only created a solid baseline for new film productions, but also allowed us to categorize information to make it more easily digestible. The idea was to focus each topic in its own "room". Furthermore this concept allowed for engaging yet time-efficient transitions between scenes, and gave each film a clear structure where each chapter of the film could easily be re-arranged.

Special Mention Nordic-Baltic Children's Film Jury´s motivation: Another film we really liked was&nbsp;Hjemme Hos Sinna. It was good, funny and a little weird. Ever wonder what it'd be like to meet raw unfiltered anger face to face?
