The Poppy Story

Do You Know The Story Of The Poppy?

We worked with Poppy Scotland to create a Paper Animation for early years and above which tells the story and history of the poppy and how it became the symbol of remembrance around the world. It also describes how Poppyscotland make and sell more than 5 million poppies a year for the Scottish Poppy Appeal thanks to our thousands of volunteers across the country.

Animation is a great medium for telling stories and also providing valuable information in a engaging way.

For this animation we worked from a script provided by Poppy Scotland and from there created a bespoke storyboard and animatic. After that we created paper models and characters for each scene.

All the scenes were brought to life using Stop Motion Animation which was shot in-house over a period of 3 weeks. Finally the animation was colour-graded and the voice over and sound design was applied.

Here are some photos from behind the scenes of this project.
