British Red Cross 2023: Emergency RESPONDER portraits
Wild’s first collaboration with the British Red Cross and The Guardian showcased emergency responders’ inspiring stories worldwide through five short films. The series highlighted responders addressing crises globally, such as aid workers in Ukraine providing food, clothing, and toys to civilians. Additionally, drought aid workers in Somaliland supported farmers combatting climate change and its devastating effects.
Moreover, the films explored local British efforts, including responders to Yorkshire floods and those assisting after the Manchester bombing and Grenfell fire. Wild’s team worked with Untitled Studio to create visually captivating content. By blending collage animation, textures, and 3D techniques, each film achieved a unified, polished aesthetic.

To bring emotional depth, each story emphasized responders’ dedication and the challenges they faced. For instance, the Ukraine segment spotlighted aid workers’ efforts to restore basic day-to-day amenities. Similarly, the Somaliland film captured the resilience of those helping farmers endure harsh environmental conditions.
This series effectively demonstrated how animation can elevate real-world stories where filming access is difficult or impossible. With creative techniques and thoughtful storytelling, Wild transformed complex topics into engaging, accessible narratives. Transitioning seamlessly between global and local crises, the project showed the British Red Cross’s broad impact and its critical role during emergencies.
By combining visually innovative elements with compelling stories, Wild underscored the importance of storytelling in raising awareness. Furthermore, this collaboration highlighted Wild’s ability to create meaningful, impactful content for humanitarian causes, leaving a lasting impression on viewers.
