COPD Foundation

Overview

Munk was approached by creative agency Make Believe to produce character work on a pair of animated films raising awareness about heart disease. Both films had different stories to tell based on different characters’ points of view, and, as they featured no dialogue or voice-over, the subtlety and range of the characters’ expressions was key to achieving emotional engagement.

Dogs Life

The first story was told from the perspective of a dog whose owner falls ill and becomes unable to take him for a walk. The affectionate canine companion ends up supporting his owner on his journey back to health.
