Fun fact: The artists combined cloth simulation with shape keys to give the perfect weight to the flying plastic bag We recently teamed up with GOOD Agency on an impactful campaign for RSPB!

🐸 Behind the Scenes: We Campaign Because They Can't 🐸 We teamed up with fellow B Corp GOOD Agency to bring these little critters to life for RSPB. These shorts aim to entertain while inspiring climate action. Fun fact: That sewage splash? The team created it using a liquid simulation in Blender, with some extra close-up geometry for those final drips. Follow RSPB and visit their website to learn how you can stand up for nature.

When there's a lot of crap in the world, we wanted to use animation as a force for good and sprinkle a bit of kindness. So we put our heads together with fellow B Corp GOOD Agency. The result? We made a campaign for RSPB, to help use cuteness and comedy to drive a serious message - We Campaign Because They Can't.

🎭 Have you seen our "Armour" animation yet? This impactful short film delves into themes of stereotypes, societal pressures to fit in, and the challenges of being a man. We share this with adults in our workshops, and it resonates deeply. It exemplifies how young men can try to conform to harmful ideas of 'being a man' to fit in, and how this can rapidly negatively impact them and those around them. It's also a useful tool to discuss the pressures of fitting in and navigating the online space with young people. Join the conversation and explore these important issues with us - it might be the best 2 mins of your day! https://lnkd.in/eniZErtM

It took us five years to get this photo! 😆 We've attempted to have a BZ summer social each year since 2019, and have been thwarted by pandemics and crappy weather ever since - but yesterday, we finally managed to get over a hundred lovely faces into a field and have a few drinks and games in the sunshine - it was bloody glorious!! 😍
