CD Morgan Powell and the animation team at Seed in London knit a cozy tale of Stevie the Sheep and the strangers who help him find a home in this seasonal spot for British lifestyle brand FatFace and tenant rights charity Shelter.
Morgan Powell: “The campaign celebrates the feeling of joy and belonging that many associate with the festive period – whether this is found in the faces of friends and family, in old (and new) traditions or in a meaningful place or moment. FatFace believes that everyone deserves to find that place – whatever it may look like.
“The animation follows Stevie the Sheep, the star of FatFace’s collaboration with Shelter (where 10% of each FatFace x Shelter item sold is donated to the charity) as they travel far and wide in search of a home and encounter new challenges and friendships along the way.
“While we focused on telling an emotional story about an empathetic character searching for a home, we were mindful of Fatface’s rugged, outdoorsy, and adventurous brand. To strike the right balance, we peppered the film with moments of natural beauty.”
