Hasta La Ideas

Back in March we announced the shortlist for our competition to create films on health issues for the NHS. Each of the shortlisted entrants has now made their test film…

NHS Choices and CR gave readers the chance to develop a new animated character/s to communicate vital public health messages. The chosen entrant will be given a six month contract to develop his or her concept and put it into action.

We initially asked for storyboards and character sketches from which a shortlist of five was chosen in March. Those five were then each given £3000 to make a test film. And here they are:

First up, The Tokkels by The Brothers McLeod:

Next, Modern Martin by Naomi Zahl

And, certainly the most left-field, Bone Dog by Boram Lee:

It’s In You by Wolfgang Matzl:

And, finally, Bob and Brenda by Ian Ball:

From these, a final winner will be chosen who will be awarded a six-month contract by NHS Choices to develop their concept and put it into action. More background info here
