WhiteBalance, a New Delhi based film production company has secured the digital campaign rights for the UNESCO MGIEP(Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development) project that aims to transform education systems around the world.
The non profit body was impressed with their strong graphics team, international quality standards and unique storyline depicting the goal of innovation of education systems.
The film is aimed at developing innovative pedagogies that are aligned with technological advancements that equip the younger generation with 21st century skills that help create peaceful and sustainable societies and foster global citizenship. The organization wanted to put this objective across to the target audience through a compelling visual narrative.
WhiteBalance came up with various storylines to effectively communicate the client’s message whilst ensuring the animation takes the viewer back to school, so as to act as a reminder of the importance of learning and the positive impact on children required to create global citizens.
