Device Hits Pause for YouTube

Barcelona animation studio Device deploys a light illustrative style to package a trio of animated messages for YouTube about Identifying truthful info on the web, tracing its sources, and sharing it responsibly.

From the team at Device: “This second batch of instructive videos continues to explore the current digital media landscape and how to navigate it securely.

“The length and topic of these pieces allowed us to develop more complex narratives, incorporating more cinematographic story elements and evolving the animation style to refine the humorous tone. Additionally, we have incorporated subtle references to fantasy and horror films, all while maintaining an adult and sophisticated approach.
 

The tone of the pieces combines a direct focus on the main action, aiming for a clear message, combined with subtle, funny, and unexpected elements to further engage the audience.

 
“This style refinement leans towards slapstick and exaggeration, incorporating gradients to enhance the sense of depth and achieve a more detailed and precise construction of the characters. The tone of the pieces combines a direct focus on the main action, aiming for a clear message, combined with subtle, funny, and unexpected elements to further engage the audience.

“By seamlessly blending all these elements, the three videos craft a coherent memorable campaign. They not only extend the lifespan of the previous pieces but also merge a unique, inclusive look with a concise, structured narrative, all while adding a touch of fun.”
 
“Unshare! Unshare!”
