Behind the Scenes: Remaking Contact

'Remaking Contact' is a project we just finished putting together for the charity Child HelpLine International, involving creating a film for each of twelve different helplines across Europe. If you've been following our work for a while you might recognise the concept, it's based on a film we made for ChildLine and the NSPCC (called Making Contact) that we made way back in 2010.

Our first piece of content to be released in multiple countries in multiple languages, we always knew that this project was going to have a set of unique challenges, not least the creation of over 400 unique paper-craft props designed by the wonderfully talented illustrator Hattie Newman.

With that in mind we made sure we documented some of the process, shot some behind-the-scenes and sat down the director, Thom, so he could give us a bit of an insight into the whole endeavour.

If you're interested in seeing the whole film in all it's multi-coloured, paper-folded glory, just click here and you'll be able to watch the full Czech version.

As mentioned, the original film has now been seen by thousands and thousands of children as part of the ChildLine Schools Service, which is pretty awesome. You can watch that and play spot-the-difference below, if you like.
