Through PPM Next, we joined forces with live-action director Ross Cooper, whose expertise in directing live-action commercials with practical in-camera effects combined perfectly with our experience directing and designing character-led animation.
We knew from the start that both the character design and the level of interaction between live-action and animation would be fundamental to the success of the pitch and the project.
In Austria, there is a pressing need for extensive thermal refurbishments to achieve climate neutrality by 2040.
To address this, the Climate Ministry has launched a fund that provides support of up to €14K to individuals who wish to renovate their homes and enhance their energy efficiency.
The advertising campaign by Jung von Matt revolves around the motto “Österreich ist nicht ganz dicht,” which in German carries a double meaning, suggesting that Austria is leaky/not sealed or insulated while at the same time implying that Austria is crazy.
As a result, the concept of a mad house was created, where the windows, doors, and walls come alive as crazy cartoon characters who antagonize the inhabitants of the house.
