A story for Babyloss Awareness Week

Today marks the start of Babyloss Awareness Week here in the UK. To help raise awareness of the impact of pregnancy loss, we’re launching the animation below which we’d love you to share with your family and friends.This short animation, illustrated by Emma Plunkett and voiced by Amy Swales, who have both experienced miscarriage, highlights how difficult the experience of loss can be and how important having someone to talk to can be during this time.

This animation has had 220K views on Facebook and was a finalist in the 2018 Charity Film Awards. Emma was commissioned by Joanna Duchesne, Managing Director at The Service, to illustrate this animation for The Miscarriage Association, for baby loss awareness week. First off, Emma created the look, with pen and ink drawings over watercolour backgrounds. She then developed the story board alongside the client. Joanna produced the film and Amy Swales did the voice over.

The Women’s Public Service Announcement

This animation was made in less than two weeks and garnered 2.2K views, when it was shared on the Upworthy Facebook channel.

Emma was commissioned by The Service, a London based production company that make social impact films within the arts, charity and education sector. They produced this animation for ICS (International Citizen Service) and VSO (Voluntary Services Overseas).

Initially, The Service asked Emma if she was interested in just illustrating a poem by ICS volunteer Anisa Nur. In the end, she visually interpreted the poem for the storyboard, made all the drawings, then animated and edited it in time for International Women’s Day.

The thing is, she was so inspired by the powerful words of the poem, that she decided to take up the challenge, even though time was short. She put her life on hold and packed nearly two weeks’ worth of work into one.

Team drawings

Imagine what fun it is for your team to see their own drawings brought to life by animation! This is an original concept from Emma Plunkett, which brings compelling viewing to your conference. It is an interesting way for your team to communicate with each other about how they feel about their year. (All the original text and branding has been taken out of this video to preserve client confidentiality.)

All you need to create your own film is to give each of your team a blank A4 piece of paper, a felt pen and then scan the images in and send.
