HIAS: For the Refugee.

HIAS is the 130 year old American charity organization working to address the global refugee crisis. To get their message out, HIAS used London animation and illustration studio Moth Collective to create a compelling story about their history and how the organization has changed over the last 100 years. Written by Paul Wolfe, and illustrated and animated by Claudio Salas, Daniela Negrin Ochoa, Joe Bichard, and Jennifer Zheng, the two and a half minute video is moving and visually beautiful. Moth uses a limited color pallet with dark sweeping transitions to move you from the beginning of their story to the present day. Frames are highlighted with occasional accent colors that play off of the main red, white, blue and black color pallet. Its a really nice piece for a really wonderful organization.
