The Challenge
Bringing fantastical situations to life in a real world setting within budget presented challenges of its own, especially when our star needed to be a loveable canine. Some out of the box thinking was required and the team settled on stop motion as the most feasible method of bringing our stories to life.
The Work
After commissioning a highly realistic, poseable dog as our central star, we conceived and produced the video series utilizing stop motion animation techniques, puppetry, costumes and physical sets. This allowed us to ground the surreal situations and concepts in everyday reality, while creating a charming and quirky aesthetic appeal.
Digital Videos & TV Spots
In six separate video stories we see our hero pet overcome a variety of perils and challenges, inspired by Paw Patrol characters and always fueled by his favorite Pedigree breakfast, of course. Augmenting the social campaign, a series of TV spots were created using edits of the video stories combined with additional VO and graphics to drive traffic to the campaign web page.
Space Chase
Inspired by Skye, our hero takes to the skies and blasts into space in search of his young owner's abducted doll.
Pillow Peril
Inspired by Rubble, the hero dog digs into a collapsed pillow fort to rescue his owner and finds magical worlds and daring adventure.
Pawesome Expedition
Inspired by Everest, our hero braves the elements and the neighborhood monster to return his owner s lost scarf.
