What is The North is Coming?
This is a story that really happened. It tells of the Got tribes that came from Scandinavia, which 2,000 years ago lived on our land. People from the north built stone circles here, still visible today, fascinating to archaeologists and accessible to visitors. We decided that this legend is worth telling and showing, and it also fits perfectly with the image of our company.
How to present it?
The idea of using animation was not at all obvious. The story was first created in audio format. A short file with a story enriched with suggestive music and the voice of Cezary Ilczyna, for several years opened the medianawigator.com website. However, in 2016, preparing for a change in the design of our agency’s website, we decided to add a graphic element and create a separate website (www.northiscoming.com) in case we ever wanted to continue this exciting story.
From conception to realisation.
As it turned out, the path to the goal was not as easy as we thought. We went through hundreds of graphic works and became familiar with the work of several talented cartoonists. In a few cases, it was necessary to prepare a demo. This had to take some time. The stage of searching for a contractor took us more than half a year. Damian Bończyk, who ultimately took on the challenge, turned out to be the perfect choice. He perfectly understood our intentions and fit perfectly into the scheme that we outlined in the brief. The preparation of the script and the composition plan of the frames was done by the scriptwriter Tomasz Bartos. This time, for the role of the voice-over, we decided to engage a local talent. Jerzy Litwin an actor from Koszalin and voice-over artist did an excellent job. All that was left was to put all the elements together, which was done by Marcin Golik. We also owe him the suggestive animations.
The effect?
This was the first time we tackled production in this technique. It must be admitted that it is impressive, but at the same time quite labor-intensive and difficult. In such a film, every detail counts, but if you find such talented performers as the ones we were able to hire, the result will be excellent. The film was placed on YouTube and Facebook, where it was viewed by almost 5,000 internet users within two weeks.
