Executive Summary
A mixed-media educational campaign—comprising a four-part video series and over 24 micro-learning shorts that blends a live-action host with a fully rigged animated character to teach students about municipal water treatment.
Business Alignment
The organizational challenge was to translate complex, text-heavy scientific documents (like PDFs explaining coagulation) into accessible, age-appropriate content for school tours and the general public. The strategic goal was to connect youth to real-world infrastructure science while highlighting ENWIN’s role in community safety, ultimately modernizing how the plant conducts its educational outreach.
Creative & Technical Execution
Acted as the Creative Director, collaborating closely with EnWin’s project managers, social media experts, and facility engineers to ensure strict scientific validation. Designed, fully rigged, and articulated “Dewy” (the animated co-host), lip-syncing his dialogue and building custom digital environments. Seamlessly composited the animated character into live-action video and designed motion graphic info-cards to visually explain dense scientific concepts.
Measured Impact
The animated character was an instant hit, dramatically increasing engagement and information retention among younger audiences. Operationally, the series successfully reduced the number of physical guides required to conduct children’s plant tours, proving that high-quality, modernized media can drive direct operational efficiencies.
