inspiration: Creature Discomforts
Something which we’ve been meaning to post up for a while is the Creature Discomfort series of ads from Aardman. I’d imagine most people are familiar with Aardman’s early classic Creature Comforts animations, well these are an extension and re-working of the concept, in partnership with Leonard Cheshire Disability. The aim of the campaign is to change the way people think about disability, and the concept works brilliantly. On top of that, the ads are beautifully crafted by the Aardman team. The Creature Discomforts site has all the ads on to watch, as well as enlightening ‘Making of’ video clips and behind the scenes info.
s’funny because I was just looking at these again today!
They’re great because everyone has a favourite… Personally mine is Tim the tortoise on crutches!
Randomn Aardman fact…
According to Wiki, they’ve been touted as doing a movie remake of Count Duckula!!!
(In a joint venture partnership with Cosgrove Hall Films and FremantleMedia and Nickelodeon Movies and DreamWorks Animation)
My favourite has got to be Callum the Chameleon… got to love the guide-bug. It’s great that you can see who the characters are based on as well and find out a bit about them
