Project Description

The educational and social enterprise CJD (Christliches Jugenddorfwerk Deutschlands) with more than 10,000 employees was looking for inspirational, contemporary films on the core elements of the Christian faith, as they form the basis of the company’s values.

We designed and realized a series of four animated videos that are particularly eye-catching for their broad mix of styles. A colorful collage of complementary images and formats, animated in different ways, reflects the themes from various angles and through the eras, showing how form and approaches change over time, but the content remains the same.

The client’s feedback: “What a stunning array of visual styles that together compose one big picture. Refreshingly unspent, the films create an atmosphere and intensity that invites dialogue and self-reflection. Absolutely great work!”

The four films can be seen here in sequence and you can find making of pictures on animation.baertigerwolf.de/cjd
