To promote workplace safety among young workers, the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board of Ontario (WSIB) has created a series of 11 animated videos that show a young worker whose life changes dramatically after he loses his hand on a meat slicer at work. “Scott” shows the main character with a bloody stump, walking down the street to meet his friend, before someone on a bike delivers a fake appendage.
The animations were created in comic-book style, drawn on paper, scanned and colored digitally and delivered as sequential TIFF files at 72 dpi.

Developed as part of the Ad Councilโs partnership with the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) and created pro bono by agency StrawberryFrog, this public service campaign underscores the vital role young people can play in reversing opioid overdoses by carrying naloxone (often branded as Narcan or ReVive).
Directed by Haya Waseem via production company Object & Animal, this โItโs Gotta Be Youโ PSA shows how a girl answers the call to help save another young person.
Raising awareness of opioid overdose reversal medications like naloxone is a critical way to empower young adults to save lives, as the presence of fentanyl in illicit drugs and in counterfeit pills continues to put countless lives at risk nationwide. Naloxone is available without a prescription in all 50 states and territories and can reverse an opioid overdose.
