Educational film for social workers expressing young children's views

We created a short film about social care, where different young people shared their personal experiences with social workers, and stressed on the importance of expressing their opinions and being heard. 

This time, our good friend and go to sound designer, Patrick Henchman, came to us first with a touching sound recording of several young people in care opening up about their issues with social workers. We started by visualising the script and finding metaphors for the feelings being shared.

As the stories are told by children between the ages of 8 – 11, we were keen to have the visuals maintain the hand-drawn and childish look in our designs. 

The video is currently being used as an educational tool at the social work postgraduate course in the University of the West of England in Bristol (UWE).
