While Planet Nutshell took another trip around our solar system we’ve been hard at work on some incredible new animation work. Many clients returned with projects, but there were some fascinating new clients and projects, as well. Without further ado, let’s get take a look at some highlights!

Raikes Foundation

We teamed up with the Raikes Foundation to help promote a learning environment where all children can thrive regardless of their sex, race, or family income level. Check out our case study for this project. 

Roca Young Mothers

Roca came back to us this year for one of our best animation projects ever, in my humble opinion! This one tells the story of Isabela, just one of the 18- to 24-year-olds in Roca’s Young Mothers program. Watch the video to see how Roca is transforming the lives of young women and giving them a shot at a better future.

athenahealth

As part of their effort to help healthcare organizations perform at their highest level, athenahealth asked us to make an animation that describes what’s special about industry top performers and how others can learn from them.

Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health

This one is near and dear to my heart. We teamed up with our longtime client, Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford, to create a video about their founder, a woman of profound courage and vision who worked tirelessly to make her dream a reality. This is her story. Learn more about the project.

Harvard Business Publishing & Insight

Harvard Business Publishing and Insight asked us to create an explainer video about the benefits of adopting a hybrid cloud solution for business operations.

Global Press Journal

And lastly, our first foray into digital journalism. Produced in both English and Nepali, the video explains the current rebuilding crisis in Nepal in the aftermath of the deadly 2015 earthquake. Learn more about the project.

I first learned about Global Press Journal at a conference last year. I knew we had to work with them. Thankfully, we got the chance last summer. We began production on a video that explains the current rebuilding crisis in Nepal in the aftermath of the deadly 2015 earthquake.

I love how the folks at Global Press Journal combined the video with an article from a Nepalese reporter to create grassroots, multifaceted coverage of this issue. Check it out. It’s worth a look if you’re contemplating ways that text and images can be combined with video to create a compelling experience.

Another big challenge for this project was creating a Nepali language version of the video. That video quickly received more than 100,000 views when it went live. We’re honored to have played a role in bringing these issues to viewers around the world.
