Flow is a design and motion studio founded in 2016, that creates human-centred brand systems and emotive, animated stories. They create brands that move, and stories that move people.
Based in Manchester but working globally, Flow has partnered with brands like Apple, BBC, Greenpeace, WWF, Dreams, Pets at Home and Wateraid.
Over the last ten years Flow has built a reputation for creating powerful and carefully crafted campaign films for charities and NGOs. In this talk Karl Doran - the studio founder and creative director, and Guilherme Gomes, Flow’s lead animator, will talk about how the studio uses creativity as a force for good, and about their most recent film for the World Mosquito Program.
The film tells the story of a young girl who sees the devastation wreaked by the spectre of mosquito borne diseases and decides to fight back. She can't defeat it alone but with the help of the community, the World Mosquito Programme, and the Wolbachia mosquitos they have a chance to beat it, and save millions of lives.
The film has been the studio's most ambitious project yet - a narrative and technical challenge to create a story with emotional resonance, that does justice to the seriousness of vector borne disease, with a child as the brave protagonist, all without any words.
