Facebook Groups Campaign Montage (2016)

Facebook Groups Campaign Montage (2016)
Facebook approached me to design, direct and help develop a campaign of 18x short animations for Groups Discover, a function on Facebook Groups.

Produced at Nexus Studios, the films concentrate on three audiences - New Parents, Parent's of Pre-schoolers and College Students. Each short animation tells the story of all the good things that happen when you are in a Group i.e. advice, support and real life help and fun interactions. Here's a montage of the best moments of animation in the campaign.
