    JOAN Creative, Director Jason Jeffrey Team To Help Save Florida Man From Climate Change

    By SHOOTUpdated:No Comments6462 Views

    Rising sea levels don’t just impact natural landscapes and charismatic megafauna. Floridians are the most vulnerable people in the United States to the impacts of climate change, including rising sea levels and an increasing number of severe weather events. That’s why one of Florida’s most famous residents, the legendary Florida Man of viral fame, has posted a comedic video sending an urgent message to online viewers: “Join the global climate strikes on September 20th, and help protect me from extinction.” 

    The video, part of an initiative called Save Florida Man, went live on September 19, 2019 ahead of the global climate strikes on September 20th. Save Florida Man is launching on social and digital platforms in a series of videos, GIFs and downloadable climate strike posters. 

    Save Florida Man is an initiative funded by Potential Energy Coalition in partnership with leading creative and innovation agency JOAN and production company m ss ng p eces. Save Florida Man was created as a new way to frame the climate change conversation and inspire people to take immediate action. 

    To drive the point home, they reached out to a genuine Florida Man, Robby Stratton, to reenact the infamous gator assisted beer run that launched him into the annals of Florida Man fame, minus the real alligator of course. He pleads the case that Florida Man stories like his won’t be around much longer if we don’t start preparing for rising sea levels.

    “The classic images of climate change are of icebergs melting and emaciated polar bears. The reality is the problem is hitting way, way closer to home. If you want to save something, save Florida — and its majestic, crazy-ass native species, the Florida Man,” said JOAN co-founder and chief creative officer, Jaime Robinson.

    “The Global Climate Strike has real momentum and, as we’ve done in the past, we wanted to contribute our skillset to one of the most pressing issues of our time. Our director Jason Jeffrey jumped on this right away and made something special in a short amount of time–now we strike,” said m ss ng p eces founder and managing partner, Ari Kuschnir.

    The Best Work You May Never See: Blinkink Director Jack Brown Takes Us On A Teddy Bear’s Journey For Tekla

    Monday, November 18, 2024

    Blinkink director Jack Brown created this stop motion film to tell a handmade story for Tekla’s holiday campaign.

    Established in Copenhagen in 2017, Tekla was born from a desire to bring modernity and freedom of expression to the homeware category. As a brand, it rejects rapid trend cycles by designing for longevity, with an uncompromising focus on quality and responsible production. Brown’s use of stop-motion animation, using only Tekla fabrics, places both the brand’s story and its values front and center.

    The film takes us on the journey of a teddy bear exploring the enchanted interiors of the Tekla Copenhagen store. The vibe feels dreamlike and the addition of stop motion adds a tenderness to the film. Inspired by the stories of Hans Christian Andersen, the campaign features iconic figures and nods to his fairytales; the towering mattresses of The Princess and the Pea, the magical umbrella of The Sandman, and the floating luggage of The Flying Trunk.

    Brown said, “What an amazing little project this was, and for such a great brand. Tekla was such a cool client to work with. I suggested making the whole ad out of their fabrics and within 24 hours, there were boxes of beautiful fabrics being delivered for us to cut to pieces. Everything you see is about the size of an A4 sheet of paper and all hand cut, stitched and animated by a very small team of very talented people. Anita Bruvere was the lead builder and animator and did such an amazing job of turning all these tiny pieces of fabric into a magical world.”
